Lake Cunningham

Lake Cunningham - home to many different types of ducks and geese. A favorite spot for the young and old alike, as they feed them and watch them.

Lake Cunningham

The lake was dredged and the silt was removed in 1997 due to the generosity of several benefactors of Forest Cemetery.

Blacktop Roads

The east portion of the cemetery was black-topped in 1997-1998. This was a major improvement to alleviate the gravel from the roads washing into the ponds.
