Address: Rainbow Falls, San Francisco, California 94118
Lloyd lake is a clay-lined lake in Golden Gate Park and is also known as Mirror Lake. The lake is located in between John F. Kennedy Drive/Crossover Drive and near the East Meadow picnic area. There is also a small and green-colored waterfall that cascades down into the lake. You will also see other small wildlife such as turtles, ducks, geese, etc. There is also a small food vendor in front of the falls that sells hotdogs, water, churros, ice cream, etc.
Spreckles Lake is one of the larger bodies of water in Golden Gate Park. The area or pathways are well paved and a good place to jog, walk run, or even roller skates. There was a lot of boat enthusiasts that are playing with their motored model boats in the water. There are a lot of benches around the lake for you to relax and enjoy the view.
Rainbow Falls- Back in 1930, the waterfalls were originally illuminated with colored lights and that is why it got its name. It is the second man-made falls in SF Golden Gate Park. The John F. Kennedy Drive towards the Rainbow Falls is currently closed or blocked off due to the Covid-19 pandemic. But a lot of people are exercising, jogging, walking, and bicycling on the closed roadway. You can easily hear and see the Rainbow Falls from the main road. We even saw a family of raccoons climbing over the waterfalls.
