This hike is as magical as the name of it implies. A very popular spot given its location smack dab in the middle of Golden Gate Park, this little manmade lake is an absolute charmer for several reasons. Not only is there an abundance of turtles and ducks, but also a Chinese pavilion and waterfall. Wheelchair-friendly, you can cross the bridge and venture to the top of the hill. If you want to explore by water, you can also rent pedal boats.
