Kevin Strickland: The Frisbee course is very popular. Lots of big trees for shade and comfort in the summer time. The ball park is great for batting practice. My kids love the playground. Room for soccer or football. Basketball courts.
Carli (Adventures with Carli): Trail is pretty steep for first .75 miles towards the lakes, then evens out. Signage could definitely be improved. hike was very pretty and will be even better in a few weeks once larches are in full shift.
Clara Lake is the bigger and more impressive of the two. Marion lake requires climbing through more loose rocks and is smaller of the two lakes.
If you don’t like screaming children during your hike, strongly recommend going during the week rather than a Sunday. At one point had unattended small children screaming and running down the trail past me with parents just casually walking well behind them up the trail.
Parking lot is limited and people park pretty terribly so you may need to get creative. But no pass required.
No toilet facilities in the area.
pop tarts: One of the most beautiful spots to camp in WA. This is spot #21. Water/electric hookups. Very well maintained. The bathroom is clean. Just a wall down to the river for a swim. It could get windy so be sure to stake your tent down if you have one. At night you will be able to see millions of stars clearly. We also saw Starlink on the way there from the Olympia area. Highly recommended. If you see a spot, book it quickly. They go super fast.
Debbie Hilva: Two workers sit in a truck with a pressure washer in the back doing nothing while theres what looks blood in the skate park track, and directly on the other side of the building are exposed wires. Nice work... I think we can do better
Michael: What began as a bathroom pitstop became an hour and half surprisingly awesome walk through Washington history. They have all the legit antiques from generations before along with plenty of artifacts on display. My kids loved the pioneer village outside with all the different cabins/shops. Definitely worth a visit on the way to Chelan!
