We arrived at the park at 9:45 am and had no trouble finding parking. There is ample parking throughout this large park.
We hiked the loop trail around the lake. The lake was lovely today. We also took the spur trail to Lake Padden Gorge, which was very picturesque. The spur trail is right off the loop trail by one of the docks.
Lake Padden is in a very beautiful setting that features both the lake and forest. It was very pleasant to walk around the lake enjoying the water and the woods. There were quite a few other hikers on the loop trail but we still had the trail to ourselves for many long stretches. The trails were all in great shape.
