The lake belongs to the La Vallesa forest. Part of this area is publicly accessible thanks to an agreement between the owner and the Paterna City Council, but unfortunately, the lake is in the part that continues to have restricted access.

Parque de Cabecera is one of the most popular places due to its beautiful surroundings and for being one of the largest and widest parks in Valencia. It occupies part of the old Turia riverbed and has an artificial lake, called Swan Lake, where you can see waterfowl and fish. A few meters from its end is the last point where you can see running water in the old bed of the Turia, which flows from the Molino del Sol and falls from a dam.
