Basically did an outside loop around the lake and up into the woods on the Southeast end of the park. All trails were clear of obstacles. Lots of rain this past week, so as expected the trails were a little sloppy in places. Being just a few minutes out of Bellingham, this is a great trail system for pretty much everyone.

This is a beautiful park with trails for everyone! I went with my sister-in-law and we took a stroller with a toddler and baby around the loop trail that goes around the lake, and I also ran up the upper trail. This part of the trail was very muddy, but it wasn't any problem to run/walk on. Great easy hike for a day at the park with kids!

Sunny and cool, perfect weather for a walk around Lake Padden! I walked counter clockwise and headed up to the horse trails; the only trails in the park that I haven't been on. There is signage at every intersection, however many signs have been vandalized and it is impossible to read parts of them. Vandals suck. Lots of muddy areas with both standing and running water. Also, there are a couple of blowdowns, easily stepped over, even if you're short (like me). Encountered a couple of people on the horse trails, more down on the loop trail. Found one tree with an orange circle painted on it. Does anyone know if that has any significance? Great for kids, dogs, horses, etc. 6 miles

This is a frequent trail for me. Very good loop for beginners or a short weekly hike. Great for dogs and kids.
