The walking path at Benton’s Sunset Lake Park (Saline County) is an easy one-mile loop that circles the triangular-shaped lake. There is an isthmus, which also can be walked separating off a smaller part of the lake.
Even though noise from the nearby interstate can be a little bit of a distraction, this is usually a very enjoyable walk.
For anglers, there is a fishing pier on the lake.
To get to Sunset Lake Park, take Fairfield Road next to the Saline County Fairgrounds down to Henry Street. It is just a few blocks from the fairgrounds.
