I watched families and hikers passing by, some daring to dip into the water. I can only imagine how cold it must be, but it looked exhilarating! Every turn offered something new, towering trees, sparkling streams, and even little corners where wildflowers peeked out. We ended up spending hours wandering, stopping whenever we felt like it, and just enjoying the simple beauty of it all. It's definitely a stop that makes you slow down, notice the little things, and feel refreshed by being outside. I can see myself coming back again and again.

It took a little while to navigate to the end of the park to begin our walk. But parking was easy and with the exception of the occasional dog walker, we felt that we had this beautiful park to ourselves. The park is huge, spacious, green, and gorgeous, especially along the river. Along the way were play and picnic areas, river access, and room for about anything one wanted to do in a park (preferably legal). We saw hardly any litter and I guess the only caution is that not all the restrooms were open when we were there. The hike was great and I'd love to come back the next time we're in town. Jim and Erin also purchased a park pass, which eases any complications around fees.

An October late afternoon was spent here wandering through Lewisville Regional Park, and by the end…read moreI felt like I'd stumbled into a slice of old‑school nature magic. The park's 2.8‑mile trail winds through a mix of dense forest and sunlit meadows along the East Fork Lewis River, giving you moments of peaceful reflection and wide-open breathing room. We decided to spend our time taking Halloween photos all over the park. While enjoying ourselves, it was great inspiration. There is something grounding about the tall Douglas firs and the hum of the river nearby. I found a quiet spot on one of the gravel paths, sat down for a bit, and just watched as the river ran. Apparently it's not just a walking park, either..there are places to picnic, horseshoe pits, and even a small boat launch if you want to get out on the water. There are lots of picnic tables and covered shelters too, perfect for a family gathering or a chill afternoon with friends. I heard on warm days, people swim here..though heads up, there are no lifeguards and the river currents can be strong. Parking is simple, though there's a daily fee (around $3 for a car). If you come here often, the annual pass is a pretty good deal. If you're craving a place to get away from the city, stretch your legs, or just be near water and trees, Lewisville Regional Park is the perffffect place. It's peaceful, historic (hello, WPA-era charm), and deeply rooted in nature. See my pictures for yourself hehe

This is a lovely park to walk your dogs. However my dog and I have experienced what could have…read morebeen an unfortunate circumstance. We started our walk. My dog was off leash. Right away we saw a couple with their dog off leash. I then put my dog on a leash. They did not. They let their dog walk up to my Siberian Husky and it wasn't 10 seconds before their dog attacked my dog. It was short lived, thankfully. After they commented about my husky which was strange to me. Maybe because they also blamed the husky breed? They were blaming my dog for the attack. I advised them that my dog did not start the fight. The elderly man took his time getting his dog to walk away from us. He made me feel quite unsafe as both of them were a foot away. As they left the elderly woman said it was due to my dog being a male. Not taking one bit of ownership for them creating the problem. I regret not saying anything more. This couple deserved to be reprimanded. I should have said the next time their dog gets close to us I will kick it away. My SIBERIAN HUSKY WHO HAS THE SWEETEST DEMEANOR does not deserve to be attacked. The thing is they were neglectful with their puppy. Honestly, it's a good way for them to lose their puppy. Yes, there are signs for dogs to be on a leash. Most people have common sense. Put your dog on a leash when encountering others and dogs. Strangely enough, this elderly couple did none of that. Common sense missed the boat on them. Their description is on the tall side, slender with grey hair. The dog is tan in color with wrinkles on the face typical of some breeds of which I know not. PLEASE watch out for the couple and don't let them get away with their extremely bad behavior.

Here, the river splits around a small island that is rumored to be a good spot for salmon fishing in the springtime. The water runs slower on the park side than in many places along the Lewis river, making it a nice place for swimming if you can snag a piece of the pebbly beach. The great news is that the park is rarely busy and we often find an area we can swim and play for the day. Beyond picnic tables, grills, and grassy areas, there is also a public toilet, and garbage cans throughout. Dogs are permitted on leash, but there is no doggy clean up station - you'll need to bring your own bags. If you're a mosquito magnet like me, you'll want to bring your bug spray. They're everywhere and they are thirsty! Logs have been intentionally placed along the riverbank to create areas for fish. We've seen minnows, snails, and caddisfly larva in the shallows. Fish jumping and even river otter can be seen in the deeper channel in the middle of the river. The park is well maintained and off the beaten path. There are two roads you can turn off of Cedar Creek to get to Haapa . They are Etna rd and Roser rd. Turning right onto Etna is an extremely sharp turn. A minivan can't do it without entering oncoming traffic after the turn. Conversely, taking a left onto Roser is extremely sharp. If you're hauling a boat, plan to enter from one direction and leave from the other for smoother traveling.

The walk in is easy, about a 1‑mile loop with gentle gravel paths, enough shade to feel cool but also patches where sunlight filters through the trees in the most beautiful way. I saw a woman with her stroller here, but had leave it half way through because there is an upward path. When I reached the waterfall, I was struck by how graceful it was, the river cascades over a basalt-rock ledge, wide and steady. One of the most magical things..the park is a front-row seat for steelhead trout leaping upstream. There are picnic tables nearby, so I ended up opening up my book and just reading, listening to the water, hearing frogs, and feeling completely grounded. And honestly sometimes running away from bees! Oh the great outdoors! But a very important heads-up: no swimming allowed. The area near the falls is a sensitive fish spawning ground, and the park strictly protects it. Parking is easy enough and the park is open from 7a.m. to dusk. If you're looking for a peaceful afternoon where you can unwind, enjoy a modest but lovely waterfall, go visit Lucia Falls.
