A little while ago I randomly decided to go to Echo Park Lake to see what it was like, and was pleasantly surprised. It was much prettier and more peaceful than I thought it would be. I found a cute little restaurant right beside it that served food and drinks right beside the water.

I sat by the water with a drink and drew for a bit, then I noticed there were people going about in peddle boats so I went inside to inquire. It was not too expensive, so I took one out for a while

It was not difficult, but my boat kept getting steered dangerously close to the fountain in the middle; I learned quickly to pay attention.

The ducks were brave, coming right up to the boat. I thought they might jump in.

Afterwards I wandered around a bit. A short walk from the park I found a really cute strip on Sunset with stores and restaurants. It is not very far from Silver Lake; I need to explore the area more.

Seems like a lovely little area!
