Greenbelt Lake in Summer

The Greenbelt Lake Park's new addition is the "Beaver Honeymoon Cache" (placed Aug. 6, 2006). Currently (as of August, 2006) it is at the top of the list of Geocaches in the Greenbelt area.

The Greenbelt lake is a favorite summer destination for Greenbelt residents and neighbors. Picnic tables can be found along the lake shore and a large playground area hosts concerts and spectators of firework displays.	Algae are a problem. The southern and eastern parts of the lake are green with algae. Hay bales are supposed to encourage the growth of bacteria that can fight the algae so far with limited success.
