A serene and peaceful park tucked away in a residential area, with trails among beautiful old trees, a lawn/clearing for picnics , a couple picnic tables and trash cans, and access to Hicks Lake with a view of Mt Rainier/Tahoma when it's out. There is a small parking lot and paved pathways to both the lake and the large lawn/clearing. No restrooms or playground; dogs must be on a leash.

Great local park next to the boat launch. There’s some tables if you’d like to bbq. Plenty of grassy areas to lay blankets/towels down to relax. Also, access to Hicks lake which is awesome on the hotter days!

Nice small park you can bring your family to. Nice clean lake with a beautiful view of mount Rainer. Fishing is allowed.

There was plenty of open space on the beach to setup and relax. The kids and dogs loved it. There were people fishing and walking the trails. A lot of us just sat on some chairs with fishing poles. Pretty quiet.

Loved it. Water was amazing and I was given directions from park Rangers at another park that wasn't that dog friendly.
