| |  Lake Worth is a small but inviting park with short walking trails through pine/oak uplands and cedar lowlands leading to scenic pond. The park is located along a tributary to Big Timber Creek and hosts year-round suburban wildlife, migrating songbirds and waterfowl in certain seasons.
Visit the lake in October and November for the chance to see interesting waterfowl up close.
Scan the lake for Mallard and Canada Goose. Follow the trail Left to the holly grove to find Hermit Thrush, Cardinal, Carolina Wren, Dark-eyed Junco, White-throated Sparrow and other wintering songbirds. Listen for the rattling call of Belted Kingfisher, which sometimes visits to fish from bare branches over the lake.
Yellow-rumped and Pine Warblers can be found in the woods among other migrating songbirds. Listen for spring peepers and Fowler's toad. Lycopodium and mosses sprout around the pond edges.
Dragonflies hover over the water's surface. Red-bellied turtles bask on logs and on the Banks of the pond. Listen for Red-bellied woodpecker, Gray Catbird, Carolina Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse and other breeding birds in the woods.
Gray squirrels clamber in the trees. Migrating songbirds fatten up on seeds and berries. Look for waterfowl such as Pied-billed Grebe, Ring-necked Duck, Ruddy Duck, Hooded Merganser and Double-crested Cormorant stopping over on the lake.
