“This small lovely lake is located in a beautiful little glen tucked between Puget Sound and the Kent Valley. This quiet, peaceful park is lush and languid in summer, save for local traffic, or a passing flight from SeaTac airport to the west. Fishermen come here to fish for trout and bass off the attractive boardwalk or among private pocket beaches on the forested island. The marshes offer great bird-watching, especially during the winter months. A broad trail climbs high above the east side of the lake to cross a ridge and descend down a huge staircase within the forest to the base of the Kent Valley.”
Lake FenwickBeautiful, and often quiet, Lake Fenwick is a good place for a private swim. Since they cleaned up the lake in the late 90's, it's been opened for swimming until recently, when it was closed to humans due to snares and vegetation. I'd recommend taking off your collar before diving in. It's true my people look for hooks before I get to swim, and it's not technically an 0ff-leash area, but it is worth the hike down. The lake is absolutely haunted by wild birds, and we come in the mornings to listen to them sing. Beware fishermen who might not appreciate a water dog! posted: February 14th, 2007 |
