Who doesn’t enjoy a stroll on the main loop trail that goes around our beautiful Lake Padden Park! (or lengthen your trip by exploring some of the short trails at the east end of the park). The great thing about this park is that there are several different parts of the park to enjoy! If you are a running/walking enthusiast, the main trail around the lake offers different grades of incline/decline to make everyone happy regardless of fitness level. To find a little solitude take a turn off the beaten path to rise above the north side of the lake on a less-trodden upper trail. Even if you just like casual bike riding, this trail is fantastic.
If you are looking for a spot for family get togethers/BBQ’s there are seveal built in/covered spots for you to enjoy. There are also large fields for frisbee, football and even a great baseball diamond. A full basketball court and childrens play area make this the perfect spot for all of Bellingham area residence to enjoy. People from Lynden, Ferndale, Fairhaven and surrounding Whatcom Co areas converge on Lake Padden for swimming, Kayaking and fishing all year round!
Don’t forget that the great Lake Padden Golf Course is right next door too!
