It was a pretty small space, but decided to give it a try for a few hours. Was able to catch some fish, but it took a while longer than expected. The water was calm and serene. Liked the atmosphere at the Park, but not sure it would be ideal for fishing that often.

First time here, and I know I'll be here many times over…read more There's nothing like being near the water. The view doesn't disappoint. Totally worth the payoff of hiking down (and back up). The trail (non-paved) to the beach is moderately steep. Loose gravel in some points so be careful. It's pretty narrow too. The paved walkway backup is also steep and will get the cardio going. Along the trail are many picnic tables to sit, eat a snack, take some pics, and catch your breath. Only downside is parking is limited. Go early if you can. Overall highly recommend.

There was no trail that equals out 5 miles. I ended up walking around the park about three times to equal out 2 miles before I got bored. The kids playground is more for little kids, not so much for 8+. Saw some people fishing and others celebrating birthdays. Very spacious for that! They have two nice tennis chords and a nice basketball court. It also have a covered area in case it's rainy and you want to celebrate something or have an event that will shield you from any rain They have a clean bathroom and honey buckets, and I like that they had trash counts around the park so there's no excuse to litter

Located in Auburn sort of by Lake Tapps, this park was super easy to get to and find parking. I was looking for a new park to explore and saw this. It's not huge but what I like about it is the connection the trail provides to other parks. The trail runs along the White River and offers both paved and dirt paths so pick your flavor. There is also a decent playground for the little ones and a dog park for the doggos to romp around at, they have separate sections for big and smaller dogs too. The path goes through trees to shield you from the rainy days and provides a nice break from the sun too. Not much bad to say about here, it's worth checking out!

Steel Lake, connected to Steel Lake Park in Federal Way, Washington, is one of the most popular and…read moreaccessible lakes in the area. It's a wonderful community destination because it's easy to reach, and both the park and lake are generally kept clean, attractive, and well maintained. Like many popular recreation areas, the lake can become quite busy on warm days and weekends, and occasionally some litter is left behind. What I appreciate is that by the next morning the area is often cleaned up again thanks to the hard work of park staff and community members who help keep the park looking its best. One of my favorite things about Steel Lake is that it is stocked with trout once or twice each year, providing great fishing opportunities throughout much of the season. Visitors come here to fish, swim, kayak, paddleboard, and enjoy boating, with only battery-powered motors permitted on the lake. Overall, Steel Lake is a fantastic local resource that offers something for everyone and remains one of the best places in the area to spend a relaxing day outdoors.

So much to do and so much fun activities for the kids!!…read more They fixed the playground so there were additional games the kids can do. The best part is you can visit their website and you can check if the water is okay for the kids to play with . There's usually an update regarding if you can swim and such. The only thing I'm worried about is when there is no one there to facilitate the other kids swimming, because I noticed there were lots of kids who goes there without their parents or guardians. The cops do come around for their rounds sometimes, but not all the time . I always have my eyes on my kids because there were sooooooo many people and soo many kids during school break holidays and I can't even imagine summer break. If you want to entertain your kids for hours bring them here and just have a picnic and enjoy the sand with the kids. Don't forget the shovel and bucket though lol.

The parking lot is right off a main road, so I wouldn't be too worried about break-ins, really. The parking lot was also in good condition - I've noticed a lot of parks in Kent have dented signs, overflowing trash cans, etc. Not this one, though! The sign was clean and there was a bulletin board covered in lost/found pet flyers, band flyers, etc. All of the reviews talking about "Oh, it's too short!" clearly didn't take the time to explore. There is a straight shot right to the dock, yes, and it'll probably take about 8 minutes tops, but there are so many trails around the lake that can be explored. A lot of the trails break off into smaller trails as well in order to give visitors more to see. I was here for a little over an hour, and I only stayed at the dock for about 20 minutes. The rest of my time was spent exploring. Sitting at the dock was by far the best part of my day. The smell, the sun, the birds chirping... Just awesome! I was glad to see that the trails and the whole park itself wasn't covered in too much litter. Very minimal, actual. There were a lot of bird houses hung up around the lake too which was a cool thing to see. It was a perfect day to visit - the birds, bees, butterflies, and even a SNAKE was out! It slithered right across the main dirt trail, so they're not scared to stop by and say hi! If you live in Kent or are just in the area and need time to kill, this is a definite go-to spot. So glad there's a place to indulge in nature therapy in Kent.
