We also rented a kayak and enjoyed one hour of kayaking on this canal in Princeton/West Windsor area. 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, West Windsor, New Jersey 08540, USA as shown in the two pictures
below. It is near the T Intersection of Carnegie Center Drive and Roszel Road in West Windsor. However, this
Lotus Pond is in a courtyard surrounded by four large and tall office buildings, trees and shrubs such that the
lotus pond is NOT visible from the nearby streets. Visitors need the following local direction to find it.

08540
2. From this T intersection, go south on Carnegie Center Drive for only about 200 feet, turn right (west)
into Carnegie Center, seeing three flag poles and a flower bed as shown in the two pictures below.

The pond is artistically irregularly shaped among the 4 buildings with several outdoor, white colored tables and
chairs near the pond. (In satellite view in the following Google Map, the lotus pond is as if directly extended
