スノーミッシュ郡周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Named for its view of the Olympic Mountains, this little beach has a walkway dotted with interesting sculptures, and a couple of benches. You can easily walk north or south from here to link up with the other beach parks in the area.

This northerly portion of Brackett's Landing Park has a sand beach (sometimes very crowded) and a rock jetty. There's also an underwater "city" deliberately plotted for SCUBA divers to explore. Even if you don't dive, it's fun to watch them do their thing.

Marina Beach is a nice, small beach next to Edmonds Marina. There is a park right behind the beach, so it is a great place for a break and to have a picnic.

You can enjoy stunning views of Browns Bay and the Olympics from this sandy beach. Numerous benches are scattered throughout, providing perfect spots to take a break before turning around and heading back.

Beaver Lake is one of many reservoirs within Lord Hill Regional Park. This is one of the larger ponds on the property and is just off the main Pipeline Trail. Trails pass by both sides of the water and offer different perspectives of the reservoir.

You will likely want microspikes in early spring to make it to the lake. The views are stunning, and in summer you can jump in to cool off.

There are bathrooms and a picnic area just up the trail from here. The trail is flat and nontechnical small-packed gravel.

The furthest uphill in the series of three waterfalls, this waterfall has a drop of about 259 feet. Just north of the waterfall you can get to a clearing with great views of the surrounding mountains.
