Lake Padden Park — Sunday, Aug. 2, 2020

This was my third time hiking the trail around Lake Padden this summer and it is so beautiful I needed to share! The trail is a pretty easy level to traverse but it provides a few small uphill climbs that help get the heart pumping! It's a wide enough trail to feel comfortable passing bikers, runners, and other walkers... most are wearing masks.  Beautiful views of the lake at times and then you're submerged in the lovely inner forest for others, very well balanced! There is ample parking with multiple entrances into the park. There are large ball fields to enjoy, picnic tables with BBQ, personal "launch" sites to get into the lake and there are tennis courts, too. We saw a family of 4 riding horseback and many people fishing off the docks, so I'd say there's definitely something for everyone here! I look forward to making this park/trail a regular occurrence this summer!
