Hopkins Lake, Owosso
This city owned lake and park was once the city dump. It has been
dredged and cleaned up, and now is a pleasant place to have a picnic, fish, or just enjoy the
pleasant surroundings. The park has a play area for children, several pavillions
with picnic tables, and a recently completed walkway that allows you to walk all the way
around the lake.
