We also rented a kayak and enjoyed one hour of kayaking on this canal in Princeton. We saw a heron and
some other birds along the canal. There were also many large and small turtles basking under the sun on some
tree stumps sticking above water surface.

Lotus Pond in Carnegie Center
Location: 212 Carnegie Center Drive, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, USA (Near T Intersection of Carnegie
Center Drive and Roszel Road). However, this Lotus Pond is in a courtyard surrounded by four large and tall
office buildings, trees and shrubs such that it is not visible from the nearby streets. Visitors need the following
local direction to find it.
Direction:
1. Take Highway 1 south to Princeton, New Jersey
2. Take the Exit for Alexander Rd Southeast and go southeast for about 0.4 mile,
3. Turn right into Roszel Road and go West for about 0.3 mile to reach the T intersection of Roszel Road
and Carnegie Center Dr.
4. At this T intersection, turn left (south) into Carnegie Center Drive to go south for only about 200 feet,
turn right (west) into Carnegie Center, seeing several flag poles and a flower bed
6. Immediately turn Right (north) on the first right turn into the smaller parking lot on the right side that is
close to the Walkway to the Lotus Pond.
7. Take the walkway that is on the north side of the small parking lot to go west to the lotus pond
surrounded by four buildings. This walkway is between two buildings.
The pond is artistically irregularly shaped among the 4 buildings with several outdoor, white colored tables and
chairs near the pond. (In aerial view, the pond is as if directly extended from Roszel Rd.)

We went to Princeton twice, on July 31, 2009 and on September 26, 2010, to see and to take pictures of
these beautiful lotus flowers. The reason that we went back again in 2010 was that the lotus had grown and
spread into wider area in the pond producing many more lotus flowers in 2010 as compared to those in 2009.
