👍👍 I liked the up and down terrain of the trail and the education it provides about trees along the way. I just finished the trail as the tide was coming in and the sun was setting . I recommend wearing good shoes for hiking this trail.

👍👍 Great sculpture park to walk through, with multiple easy ways to drive or bike to get to it. Strollers can go on the path with some maneuvering, but not ADA accessible through the whole park. No public bathrooms, but there is a port a potty on the Chehalis Western Trail. I recommend bringing your ow...

👍👍 Very nice and well-kept park with fantastic playground design. Multiple walking paths and even a smaller baseball field with a backstop. Awesome design on the playground even includes a hotwheel track on one of the toys. So next time your full terror-mode, demanding, and angry toddler insist on taki...

The whole park is beautifully maintained, with nice trails that have steps in the steep sections. The walking is fairly easy throughout. The foliage is dense...

👍👍 Small spot to launch, with a nice view.

👍👍 2 main trail options, 1 mile and 2 mile. The first loop takes you around 1 side of a small scenic pond/small lake. You can find blackberries here in july. I haven't tried the 2 mile loop yet. There is not much seating for any rest stops. There is some incline but not terrible. If someone in a wheelc...

👍👍 Medicine Creek Winery is amazing! I've been to a couple of events and each one has been alot of fun. The wines are great; may I also suggest their wine slushies. They are delicious!!

Dogs allowed

😠 I would advise against going here, it is not safe. I thought and still believe it is supposed to be open to the public but the "caretaker" will claim you are private property and chase you off and make veiled threats against you. If you go I advise having a camera on just in case. This place needs t...

👍👍 To be honest, we were there for a Memorial to a dear friend who was murdered. Her name is Sue Lundy. She was the sweetest person, living, caring and giving. She has been our friend for over 35 Years. We Will miss her. The school house is a great old gathering place. Small kitchen, large room, and tw...
