紅葉がそろそろかなと思い行きましたがもう少しでした。湖の周りを1周しながら気分転換。ボートにも乗りましたが30分1100円です。バーベキューやら食事されてる方もたくさんいました。天気がいい日は特に気持ちいいと思います。

日曜の15時頃に行きましたが、駐車場が広く空いていたので、駐車もすぐ出来て良かったです。今の時期は落ち葉が多く注射時にタイヤが滑る注意が必要です。アヒルボートは、30分1100円で大人3人乗れました。30分は短いかなーと思いましたが、風も冷たいため逆にこれぐらい出ちゃうど良い！アヒルの餌は、ガチャガチャで100円で販売していて、カプセルが開けれないほどいっぱい入っていました。餌を見つけるとアヒルが飛んでやってくるので、結構ガシガシボートにぶつかってくるので怖い💦

スワンボートいいです！自然豊かで白鳥と鴨、鯉とともに非日常を味わえます！今回は前日が雨天で寒さのあまりすぐ退却…翌日リベンジでとても良い時間を過ごせました！
