Downtown, Part 2
You found the Buffalo at the Railyard Bike Park!
From here, we're headed to Lake Atalanta.
See that trail right next to the bench?
If you are up for a walk, head on down that trail to the lake!
But be warned, it's a pretty steep walk back up if you parked at the bike park, so you may want to drive it.
CLICK HERE for directions to the next spot to hunt! Go there and then return to this page.
HISTORY
Lake Atalanta was created by the building of the Lake Atalanta Dam in 1936-37. It was named after the wife of Rogers vinegar plant owner, O.L. Gregory, because he donated part of his property for the development of the lake. In 1948, the Lakeside Café, swimming pool, and skating rink opened after being developed as a resort by “Cactus” Clark and Ed M. Bautts. The City of Rogers began a redevelopment plan for Lake Atalanta Park in 2013 and the newly renovated park, including paved trails and playground structures, reopened on October 29, 2016.
Once you park, take a look around.
At the playground nearest the lake, you will see some tall poles.
How many poles have balls on the top? Remember that number.
Next, you should be able to spot a very large, metal "Lake Atalanta" sign near a pavilion.
Head to that pavilion.
On the wall you will see a map.
Find the location number on the map matching the number of "ball poles" you saw.
Type the name of the location in the blank below.
