Lord Hill Regional Park — Thursday, Oct. 26, 2017

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area
Bald Hill Pond

My Goal was to finally see the elusive Bald Hill Pond, and after some following of sporatic flagging and thrashing around in the underbrush it was a success!! The trail down to the lake has not been built yet, but I just followed my GPS and topo map and made my way down there : ) TONS of ducks!! Like 50 or so Mallards!  Lots of nettles, my arms were a mess as it was so hot I didn't want to put on my jacket. . oh well. . .good little adventure!

Congratulations! Not many people venture that far back. (Likely because there's no trail, and from the looks of it, the future trail won't go all the way to the pond.)
One winter day several years ago, I was exploring the hill above the pond. Had to have been at least several hundred ducks below. Spooked a few, and the whole bunch took off together. Since the pond is in such a bowl, they had to circle several times to get out of there. An amazing sight!
