Lake Padden Park

Overview

This peaceful city park is home to a number of trails surrounding the cool waters of Lake Padden. There are also plenty of amenities like picnic tables, swimming areas, sports fields, playground, and a dog park. Although it sits between Samish Way and Interstate 5 the dense forest and still lake do an excellent job of drowning out civilization with a forested setting.

Local Info

The trails at the park provide good options that range from the easy paved and gravel loop around the water to more adventurous steep and rooty trails like the Padden Southeast Trail. You'll see mountain bikers and equestrian riders, but most of the other trail users you see will be pedestrian.
