Forest Park Pagoda

Forest Park

Taking a walk around Forest Park to watch the sunrise and see the fall leaves, I was able to get this photo of the pagoda.

This is located on a small island within Pagoda Lake, built for the grand opening of Forest Park in 1876. It has become one of the park’s most photographed structures, as spectators gathered around the lake to listen to musical concerts during the 1904 World’s Fair. Although it remains accessible only by boat, it is still one of the most popular and recognizable landmarks in Forest Park. The surrounding trees turn a bright red in the fall making for stunning photos.
