The road alongside the lake is not a public road which makes it free and safe for biking. Aside from the view of the lake is an avenue of trees and bushes that add drama to the scene. It was perfect when we visited the place. We had a clear view of the mountains, Mount Banahaw and Mount Cristobal (according to my research), at the other side of the lake. With the calm water, clear blue sky, and cold gusts of wind, Sampaloc lake is indeed serene and relaxing.
There are times when you think you need to reconnect with yourself, with the world, with the people you love. Sampaloc Lake is one sure place to go to. Bring on the drama in here, spend a day however you want it, and you should be well afterwards.
In one area of the long road/lake is a deck where you can stay and get closer to the lake. You can contemplate about things that bother you while you look at the calmness at the far end. Or have a romantic conversation with your partner. Or just let your kids drain all the energy they packed with them by running to and fro.
My daughter seems to enjoy hopping on the deck, careful not to step on the lines. She's unmindful of the couple behind her who look like planning their future.
Experience the same thrill here. There are bicycles for rent. So, take advantage of that and have fun!

At first, it was the name of this hotel that caught my attention. Then I realized this is perfect for people who would like stay longer in this kind of place or to have an experience of sunset and dawn near the lake.
We're sure going back here when the budget for a beach outing is not available. (*wink)
