One of the perks of living in the neighborhood is the Beaver Lake Dog Park…read more It is fully fenced and has large-dog and small-dog separate areas. The large dog park is thickly covered in wood chips in the open areas, and the back 1/3 side is heavily shaded by trees and easily walkable for those hot full sun days and for good 'texture'. If you have one of those ball throw tools, you're not going to run out of distance with your best throw. The small dog side is slightly smaller and features a gravel/dirt and grass field. There are some passages into a small stand of trees/bushes. Doggie water fountains and pooper scooper bags available in each section. There are well established wooded trails to either side which lead to the lakefront section of the park: about a half mile round trip. The people are friendly and dog conflicts rare. (Personal hint: if you have a troublesome dog, put a muzzle on them before taking them out in public or to any park: the dog really won't mind. You can always remove it). On-site parking is good except for the rare little league tournaments, as the 3 ballfields and well-appointed playground share the park/parking. There's even street overflow parking. (I saw one review of a water-borne illness: that review is over 10 years old and there's no regular standing water in the dog park for years)

There are 2 sections and both are huge. The small dog side has a nice big metal bench, a poop bag station with a trash receptacle and a couple fire hydrants which my little loved. There's 3 obstacles in a small agility area. No one was there so we went on the other side, the big dog area. This one is much larger. It was a sunny day but I can see if it's pouring rain that it would get a little muddy, but really not so bad. The park was clean and in a nice area not far from 410. No dog poop on the ground. On the outside of the fence there's a playground and 2 picnic benches. Also a port a potty. I can't wait to bring them back & so glad I found this gem here on Yelp!!

i'd only recently discovered this dog park and began going around one to two times a week for the…read morepast few weeks, as i work in the area and it's a nice reprieve for my puppy after she's spent long hours in my office. it's clean and expansive, split into an area for small dogs, an area for large dogs, and a grassy hill that overlooks a pond--it's very lovely. the people have always been great too. they're very friendly and kind, and the park is always clean. i've really enjoyed it. however, ever since day one, i've noticed an older guy bringing his dog in who is not well-socialized with other dogs. (chances are, if you're there and you're hearing a dog snap or snarl at another dog, and its a medium-sized shorthair, tan coat, it's his). at first i looked the other way because my puppy's interactions were few and far between, and what little snips and snarls this dog did at her were at the very least good learning experiences: some dogs aren't your friends, some can be dangerous, learn to read the signs. but this guy kept showing up. every time i was there, with this dog. and he never intervened, never showed any interest in demonstrating a single correction. the time before this, when he showed up, i left as soon as i saw him because i didn't want to deal with. this time however he was already there, and i figured i'd just hang out for a bit and try to keep my puppy away from his dog. things were fine for the most part until the end. my puppy walked by this dog, where it was chewing on a green soccer ball, and this dog snarled and lunged after her with its teeth bared, the left side of its muzzle too close to her flank. this wasn't okay. this wasn't a playful action. a bystander made a joke, but my dog looked scared. i was enraged. i looked at the guy but he just smirked at me, no acknowledgment of how f'ed up that was. as i was leaving i told him that wasn't cool. he told me that i better watch out because he lived there, and his dog was just playing, and he didn't even know who i was, he'd never even seen me before, etc. (we'd literally had a handful of face-to-face conversations before this incident, he'd asked me my dogs name a couple weeks before, i was very confused by this), and he took no ownership over the fact that his dog's posture and vocalizations were demonstrably not playful or friendly. just a warning to visitors to this park: if you see a heavy, ruddy-faced white guy in shorts, wearing a hoodie with a punisher logo patch on the right sleeve (because of course there's a punisher logo somewhere), a baseball cap, carrying a Chuckit!, and driving a sedan, and he has a tan short-hair medium sized dog with him (google "american dingo"), i recommend that you either leave or check to see if your insurance covers aggressive dog bites.

Picked this hike from the Washington Trails book, about 9.5 miles roundtrip with a 2700 elevation…read moregain. This was a tough hike, even though I chose it since the book said "moderate" and even looking up some reviews people had said the hike as relatively simple to enjoy a fantastic lake view. We were both pretty dead at the end due to the length and steep inclines. Knees were pretty banged up because of all the rocks. The trail in the beginning wasn't so bad, definitely got my heart pumping because of the elevation, but as you go higher up there were a lot of switchbacks and seemingly no end in sight. We hustled up the mountain pretty quickly though, which was why we were so tired at the end. The view is definitely worth it in the end; recommend bringing a hammock! There's also plenty of sitting area through slabs of rocks. Coming down we encountered: 1) a girl who was crying we believe because of the toughness of the trail, 2) a couple who stopped us to ask how much longer it was to the top (they unfortunately weren't even halfway) which signifies how tough this hike was. Definitely recommend bringing more than enough water or you will definitely be dehydrated (like we were). Otherwise glad we did this and would recommend (you won't regret it but your body will hate you haha).

Pretty but tough, Melakwa Lake gets you with its length and steady elevation gain. The trailhead…read moreis located in Snoqualmie and is part of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area. Be sure to pick up a Northwest Forest Pass before you head over as the closest visitor center is about a 15 min drive away at Exit 52. If you've scoped out the WTA site already, it'll say that the trailhead has a parking lot for approximately 30ish cars with additional room to park along the side of the road. As the trailhead is shared with the very popular Denny Creek, I'd recommend you head early to snag a spot and to carpool - my friends and I arrived around 9AM and the lot was completely packed. There appears to be two parts to this hike - the family-friendly portion to Denny Creek and then the rocky and long jaunt up to Melakwa Lake. We saw a lot of families on the trail headed to the creek, which makes the perfect picnic spot during low water. If you want to continue on toward Melakwa Lake, head straight over to the other side of the creek where you'll find a tiny sign labeled "Main Trail" posted on a tree. The crowd thinned out after Denny Creek/the water slide (as referred to on WTA) as the hike got a bit tougher and rockier. If you have hiking boots, wear them, as you'll encounter two, long stretches of rocky terrain. The 2,000 ft elevation gain is gradual, but definitely noticeably on the last leg. You'll head up for what feels like forever before the trail starts to dip down again, taking you to the edge of the lake. This hike feels long, so be sure to bring an ample amount of water and snacks to help power on to the end! Once you're at the lake, there's room for you to sit out on the rocks before your journey back down. We even saw a few people swimming in the water - must've been so cold! XD My friends weren't the biggest fans of this hike, mainly because of the length, but I still think it's worth a visit with the right prep. Also, don't forget to bring bug spray! Apparently Melakwa is Chinook for mosquito, haha. :)
