Hiking South Lewis County Regional Park

If you're looking for a spot to do some fishing, some boating and/or some urban hiking, you've found the right spot! The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regularly stocks this pond with rainbow trout, prompting a steady stream of fisherfolk during the fishing season. 

A trail around the perimeter lake allows urban hikers a nice loop option right on the edge of Toledo, WA. 

There is a designated swim area and group picnic area open between March 1 and Oct. 31 every year.
