This park is so cool!! I came here for the first time, for National Night Out and was blown away by how large this park is and the fact it has a spray park, and an amphitheater! My only complaint is the restrooms-why so small and why only near the spray park? Besides the restroom issues, I found this park to be very clean, lots of trails to explore, and tons of green space to picnic, throw a frisbee, or bring the furry ones. You really can't go wrong coming here.

Stopped by today to try this Willis Tucker Off Leash Dog Park. Park itself is very large. Grounds are hard packed sand, dirt, gravel with muddy areas all over the field. Didn't see any grass. Pet poop bags are not supplied must bring you own. I watched many pet owners just left the poop and walked away. Fence around the park is low enough for my black lab to jump over. Which he did, thankfully he ran straight to me. I've been to many off leash dog parks in Western Washington and still prefer the Strawberry fields Off Leash Dog Park.

We just got back from our exploratory trip to the dog park. We parked in the main parking lot. It was difficult to find the dog park from there as there is no east to find map near the main entrance. We wandered around and at the end of baseball field 2 we found a map and how to get to the offleash areas. We also saw that parking lot off the gate 3 park entrance goes right to the dog park. There are three offleash areas. A small / shy dog area, a trail through the woods and a "meadow" area. I turned my dog (and wife) lose in the meadow area, hiked back to the car and moved it back to the parking area near the dog area. The meadow area is NOT a meadow. Rather it is a large offleash area 6 acre area with open area, a good number of treed areas and this time of year ground water / mud and a even a small spring. It was lots of fun for Lola, she enjoyed bossing the other dogs as usual. She only got her paws slightly muddy but for mud wallowing hounds there is a wash station outside the offleash area. We were planning on trying the forest area but it looked like the mud bath area too so we will leave that for summer. Just remember to park in the lot through gate 3 (the furthest East entrance.)

First time here! Awesome recreational area with two fields, tons of grass to run around and lounge, lots of benches and covered spots which I can imagine are good for parties and other gatherings. Parking lot was decent sized although I can imagine it fills quickly in the nicer months / weekends. I believe there is overflow parking close by... Since it's not very warm right now, the spray park was not on but I'll bet that is super fun for the kids in the summer! What a great idea! The trails around are nice for walking as well. This park is clean and safe, both very important factors for a place for kids :)

One of my favorite parks in the area! Many parks get crazy crowded on the weekends, and it's hard to find solace on the trails with 100 other people. I went on a Sunday and it was quiet and peaceful. I love the amenities, which include volleyball areas, covered shelters, a baseball and athletic field, and an off leash dog area with trails. I was impressed with how well maintained everything was. The only downside was a lack of garbage cans and water. Maizey

Extremely large and open area for the pups to do what they do best; play! The only con I saw for this park is that they don't have a watering hole for the pups; you have to bring your own. Some people have shared and left gallon jugs of water, which is so nice. Although you have to leave your car a good distance away from the a actual park, it is not a bad walk through a beautiful wooded area. This is where my dogs usually like to poop. Which is nice, because then I don't have to worry, as much, about them running off far away and pooping once we are inside the park. The park itself is divide up into 3 areas; the large meet and greet dog park (with a nice. agility course), a small dogs park for the shy pups, and a wooded area with many trails. It's awesome

We heard about this natural hotsprings in its super remote location in North Bend and just had to…read moretry it! It is a preserved miner's hotsprings that is on private land and is completely run by volunteers with the exception of a few individuals who are paid to make reservations and live on the grounds year-round. It is not easy to get reservations here especially with the pandemic. Once they were able to open this summer they started returning calls and we were lucky enough to be able to reserve the hotsprings for a small group of less than 5 people on a Monday. The fee was reasonable at 20 per person and they included detailed directions and instructions on getting to and using this facility. The drive in is no joke, seriously. We live in North Bend and are familiar with that area as we hike many of the trails over there frequently but we did not plan enough time for the 5 mile non paved road. Even thought it's only 5 miles it is VERY rough with lots and lots of potholes and difficult washed out patches that our Xterra made it up but might be difficult for other cars. Once we made it to the Dingford trailhead parking lot we left our car and started the 5 mile hike to the hotsprings. It's a really beautiful walk without much elevation gain through the forest and along the river but it is very rocky so your feet and toes will definitely get a beating. We kept up a good pace with around a 15 min/mile walk so we made it there in about 1.5 hours. We rang the bell and were greeted by the host who was very informative and pleasant. We signed our release forms and headed up to the springs for a beautiful and relaxing 4 hour time slot of enjoying the 3 different (but small) pools and the picnic table for lunch. It is also right at the top of a waterfall so you can sit out and enjoy the view and relax when you get tired of soaking. There is a cave where the hot water emerges that used to be open but is currently closed due to COVID concerns. The pool this hot water spills into is the hottest and really can only hold 2 people and then this pool spills into a larger one where 4 of us sat comfortably. There is also a cold one with river water which made for a great plunge. We really enjoyed our stay and had a great lunch at the picnic tables (no garbage sites so plan to pack in and pack out everything you bring). They also had non flushing porta potties you can use with one at the top by the hotsprings and a couple others at the bottom by the campground which is currently closed due to the pandemic. The campground is usually open year-round though and we are really looking forward to coming up during the fall or spring sometime. The five mile return hike is definitely tough especially with your feet being soft from soaking. I recommend you bring an extra pair of socks and maybe even consider sitting out for the last half hour or so and let your feet dry out before the return hike..my tootsies were pretty blistery when we returned!

Its's not worth the effort *for a day trip*... cant speak for camping. Coming from Tacoma for a 2…read morehr drive with 45 minutes of it being an insanely precarious road and then a 5 mile "hike" which is a walk on a dirt road, not to mention the lottery system and the instructions on how to even visit... I was expecting A LOT more! The pools were small! Thankfully one group was leaving as we arrived so there was only 3 other people hanging out with us. Otherwise, it would have been SO cramped! My husband couldn't even stretch out and hes 6 foot. If you've never experienced nature/spa or are not from WA then I guess you might enjoy this, but I wouldn't do it again. Pros: caretakers are super nice, seems like guests are all going to be friendly and respectful, area is VERY well kept and clean, pools are cool despite being small, temps are great, "hike" is boring but easy! Cons: way too much boring effort to get here (especially for a day trip), pools are very small, last part of road to get to the parking lot is VERY rugged... you NEED a high clearance vehicle and someone who can navigate huge potholes/trees/ debris, etc. "Hike" is boring but easy!

The Glacier Basin Trail is utterly magical in every sense of the word. I must have taken hundreds…read moreof pictures and several videos while hiking this trail. This hike has everything that your little heart could ever desire! A forest full of giant trees. Vibrantly green shrubs. Waterfalls at practically each turn. Majestic views of not only the snow covered mountains, but the gorgeous aqua hues of the White River down below. The rushing river running parallel. Rampant wildlife. Colorful wildflowers. Inclines and elevation galore. I mean, shall I go on?! Just stunning. Glacier Basin is located near the White River entrance of Mount Rainier National Park. The trail begins just behind the White River Campgrounds. It's starts off mildly inclining through a lush forest, but the incline picks up speed and continues to incline until you reach the camp. It's about roughly 9 miles and 2,000 feet of elevation in total if you add in the the detour to the Emmons Lorraine Trail. Do it! It will add another 1.5/2miles to the hike, BUT... this is where you'll find that incredible view of the Inter Fork White River. It's funny that it's called the "white river" because it's stunningly aqua from the top of Emmons Lorraine. The Emmons Lorraine trail is a turn off that's about a mile into the Glacier Basin Trail and includes a river crossing and a steep incline up a narrow hill. It looks a bit intimidating, but it's really not. Just sit on your bum for the really gnarly parts coming down (at least that's what I did). Continuing on the Glacier Basin Trail, it's basically a straight shot up the hill for another 3 miles until you reach the top. There are a few spots with some switchbacks, but it's mostly a ridge-like trail. AllTrails has rated this hike as moderate, but it's definitely on the harder side of moderate if not difficult. What makes this hike so enjoyable though is the fact that there's so much scenery. Every time I took a break, I was either greeted by a beautiful mini waterfall or vibrant wildflowers. The views are very motivating and it keeps you going. Once you reach Glacier Basin Camp, you'll be met with the most stunning views of snow covered Mount Rainier and the rushing waters of the White River right next to it. This hike took me about 5 hours in total to complete (including breaks, lunch, and detours). It's definitely a day hike, so bring enough food and water to keep yourself nourished. Also, make sure you have some really comfortable hiking shoes/boots and hiking poles for the way down if you have bad knees. Coming down can be just as tough as hiking up because of the steepish downhill for 3 miles straight. This one is definitely going in the books as one of my favorite National Park hikes and my favorite Washington state hike thus far. If you're looking for a challenge and a great way to see the beauty of Mount Rainier National Park, Glacier Basin Trail is a great option.

As a Seattle native, I can say that this is my favorite hike I've ever been on. The hike has a fork…read moreabout a mile in. If you fork left, there is a relatively short (~30 min) but steep trail that leads to the glacier basin. The water is a bright teal with mountains in the background, one of the best views I've ever seen. My friends and I went swimming in the basin, which was very cold but also very fun. If you stay on the main trail, it is an additional 6 miles that is moderate-difficult and took about 3 hours to get up. At the top, there is a really pretty meadow and campground. You will need a Mt. Ranier National Park pass ($50 annual or $30/week) to enter. I went on a weekday in the morning and had no trouble finding parking. The main trail was quite empty, but the left fork had a couple other groups. However, we more or less had the place to ourselves. Overall, 10/10 would reccomend!

I wish there was a sign because you'll get asked a lot, "Is that the trail?" To access the waterfall, if you want to get great shots of the waterfall, you have to climb down to it. We weren't able to because we have an 8-month-old. But we used to climb down to the waterfall years ago. It's a must! Our first time at this hike was 6 years ago, and we've done it a handful of times since then. I do want to say every time we have come there, there are hardly any people on the trail. Most people will scramble down by the waterfall. It's fun. You do see people turn around at the tree/bench because it's a steep climb down. But you are able to still see the waterfall. Parking: There are about maybe 10 cars that can fit, and then parking a couple of feet ahead. Restroom: None

There is some parking available right across from the trailhead. There are a lot of small fallen trees, probably due to that huge windstorm that happened a couple weeks ago. There is one tree you will have to climb over. I'm 5'0 and it was tall enough where I was almost sitting on it when I walked over it. And best of all the waterfall is spectacular! Definitely won't disappoint. I don't know how it is in the summer. There are also smaller water falls you can see on the way there.
