Freshwater Turtles
Common freshwater turtles seen around the lake include red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) and painted turtles (Chrysemys picta). These turtles are frequently spotted basking on rocks or logs near the shoreline to regulate their body temperature in the sun. Freshwater turtles play an important role in aquatic ecosystems by helping control insect and plant populations, and they can live for several decades in healthy wetland environments.
