As we locals all know Lake Padden Park offers outstanding recreational opportunities for everybody. Nestled in the south end of Bellingham, Lake Padden is the centerpiece around which trails weave through the woods- where you can ride your horse, go for a swim, take your dog for a walk, paddle or row your boat, ride your bike, go fishing with your grand-kids, stroll around the lake with your sweetheart, or go golfing with your buddies- you get the picture.
