Lake Topanemus Park is a quiet township park built around a good-sized lake. Paved and packed paths circle the water, with picnic tables and benches under shade trees along the way, plus a small playground.

There are two entrances: the main lot off Pond Road and a smaller lot on Robertsville Road that fits about half a dozen cars. Walking between them and back makes an easy, mostly flat outing, and it's one of the prettier local spots for fall foliage.
