    Tolmie State Park - Tide is out

    Tolmie State Park

    Last time I visited was in the summer when the water had really receded. It was lovely, but dry…read more This current visit was in the winter so the tide was high. We walked down to the beach and my niece had a fun time scooping up sea life from the sand and she found things like baby crab legs and shellfish so we got to talk about what was in the water. People were kinda standing around or taking pictures since Mt. Rainier is in the distance, since there's nowhere to sit to relax. There are lots of signs telling you to respect private property, so I imagine the residents get frustrated when people wander over the line, but that's what you get if your property is right next to a state park. The path over was nice, with netting on slippery spots and there are a couple of Pokemon Gyms and Pokestops so its a pretty good place to play. Just be mindful that they require you to carry your trash out of the park with you, so there's nowhere to leave your dog poop bags if your pup does his business. We obediently took our stuff with us, but I wonder how many people don't honor the request.

I arrived in the 9:00 a.m. hour and parked at the upper parking lot by the entrance to the park. There is a second parking lot further down the road once inside the park that is closer to the beach. By the upper parking lot there is a restroom building, covered picnic area, and abundant picnic tables with grills interspersed in the woods. There is also an area with benches facing the water in an amphitheater-esque seating style. In my exploring this area I found some cool plants including foxglove plants with cusped blossoms. A Goldfinch flitted across my path and made a getaway before I could get a picture of it. Fun to see the state bird in a state park! Making my way down the trail to the beach was quiet, and I was pleased to see that it was high tide when I arrived at the waterfront. Walking along the waterfront I notice what looked like a Kingfisher so I decided to approach and see if it was. Indeed it was! Slowly I waded out in the water along a muddy part and realized the mud was teeming with crabs. I was careful to watch where I stepped so as not to smoosh any of them. Once I reached the Kingfisher (a Belted Kingfisher specifically) it flew off across the spit of land I came across to get to it. I watched where it landed on a tree branch and then followed the Belted Kingfisher. The Belted Kingfisher was along the creek that flows to the Puget Sound at high tide, at low tide the creek dissipates. Another Belted Kingfisher arrived and they both started diving in the water for fish and other food. Turning my head left I noticed a Heron in the water and waded back out in the water to join it. After wading around with the Heron for a while I made my way back towards where the first Belted Kingfisher had perched to watch for food in the water. The tide was going out as I was wading with the Heron and making my way to the perch. The crabs were not happy about this. The ground glistened with movement, not sunlight, and there were 100s to 1000s of tiny crabs running to take shelter under the seaweed, in the mud, and yes trying to pinch my feet and legs. As I neared some crabs they would burrow backwards into the mud, put their pinchers up, and open them... I was careful not to step there. Eventually I made it back to the Belted Kingfisher perch and what did I find?! Not one, but two Belted Kingfishers watching the water!! So very cool. After admiring them for a little bit I started making my way back to my car. The beach and the parking lot by the beach were starting to get busy, so it was my time to go. A perfect morning adventure in the Puget Sound area.

    I'm glad I took my little doxies with me this trip since there was no one in this dog park, which I…read morekind of expected due to how small the island is. The grass was still dewy and wet although it was like 4 o'clock in the afternoon. My dogs didn't like that so much (highfalutin dogs!!), but after a while they got over it as they saw I was not going to put them back in the car until they made an attempt to run around. Someone from before left some dog toys in the park so I used a ball tosser and surprisingly they went after it, which they don't do when we are at home. Usually they like me to wait on them hand & foot (what a dog owner does sometimes, right?) There was a frisbee on the ground and a squeaky football which they were uninterested in. The park is fenced and double gated so you don't let stray dogs in or out. Although, the fence is kind of short so I'm sure medium to large dogs could just jump over the fence. The last review said no doo bags but there is a station with bags and a small trash receptacle. I couldn't check it since there was no cell signal for me. Cell signal was kind of sparse depending on where you're at on the island

    This is the only dog park on the island. A big grassy fully fenced area, No bags, no running water,…read moreso watch out for poop. When I arrived there were no dogs, but I figured my pup could sniff around as a part begal likes to do. Anyway, a nice lady stopped by with her three large dogs, and my pup had a great time running after one, and being chased around. I will go again, when I go to my parents place in the future.
