Reviews of Lake Mallard lake

In my opinion, Mallard Lake is the most scenic lake in Golden Gate Park. Majestic willow and buckeye trees grace the water's edge, bird life is aplenty, and the lake is a bit off the beaten path and is ignored by the vast majority of Golden Gate Park visitors.

Small lake, but usually not crowded and often with a few ducks in it. The smaller lakes in the chain will often have a sort of water striding bird or fish visible in them, so look out for those. Unfortunately, they also tend to cover over with algae or water plants more easily. There are a couple of benches. You might also see gulls, pigeons, and stellars Jay's. Worth a walk by but not really an afternoon.
