The still water of the curved lake is surprisingly clear beneath the lily pads that dapple its surface. Cattails mark the area where a meager creek feeds the lake, while the rest of the shore is grass that transitions into smooth-pebbled shallows. The water is cool to the touch, sending a slight shiver through your whiskers. Across the lake, a bevy of otters tussle their way into view and splash into the water.
