Lake Padden Park

Very fun Lake to take the family to. Hot days can be pretty crowded but you can usually find a small cove with privacy if you don’t want to be near crowds. It’s fun to walk around the entire lake, about 2.5 miles or so. Has some decent size hills. Also good fishing, I have not personally fished the lake but I often see people getting good catches. There are water fountains. The bathrooms get locked towards the evening. There’s a dog park along with an off leash trail. And a playground

It's beautiful, and you can see the lake from some parking. There's decent restrooms. It's a good place for birding. And you could probably take a wheelchair on some of the trails.

One of the nicest places for a walk or run in Bellingham any time of year. A nice playground for kids and plenty of picnic tables as well. I havent tried the tennis/pickleball courts yet but they look nice.

Lake Padden Park is my favorite park in Bellingham, I love to come here and walk the loop or many side trails as long as time permits. If you want a great place to see some water and trees, but also have perfect walking trails for relaxation in town this is the place to go.

This is a very well maintained Park with a pristine and serene Lake. There are 3 entrances ( i believe) to this park, each with its own parking lot and amenities (such as bathrooms, picnic area and playground). We love the bike trail that circles the entire Lake and connects to the mountain bike trails. And yes, you're allowed to ride an E-assist bike here, but please respect the speed limit of 15 mph.
