OVER IT: Beautiful views at Oakland's Lake Merritt

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- DRONEVIEW7 went "over it" at Lake Merritt, the "Jewel of Oakland."

The lake is 3.4 miles in circumference, covering 155 acres of land.

It was donated by Dr. Samuel Merritt in 1869, making it the nation's oldest wildlife refuge. It is naturally filled with a mixture of salt and fresh water, making it the largest of its type in an urban area.
