Spanaway Park Trail

This is a very large park. Really good for family gatherings, explore the trial, and or water activities. On many occasions I have came here for bbqs by renting out one of the pavilions. Or walking the trails. Even bringing out the jet skis on a hot day. There is a lot of parking, playgrounds, and bathrooms.
Only cons are sometimes it’s dirty with a garbage on the ground. Oh, and there’s a huge sign saying people have reported «swimmers itch».

The grounds here are kept very well, and the view of the lake from the trail is nice.

Needs more trash cans, staff during fantasy lights are rude rude rude

I have never seen a more beautiful place to ever go to… that is both peaceful & so relaxing! When I was first driving here, I didn’t even know where I was going because I am never in the area. I came because my friends wanted to take me canoeing. I am so thankful for them taking me here because it is gorgeous!
Once you enter, you have to pay $ 3 for parking, but I think that goes for the upkeep of the park/​trail/​lake. We parked around the loop, took our first few steps towards a small downhill trail. It led us to the bathroom. Might I add, they are actually clean for public restrooms! There are over 10 stalls, pretty clean, but no toilet seat covers and hand soap! Yuck! This is one of the reasons why it’s not a perfect 5 star. Otherwise, it’s so clean and nice.
The trail (I don’t know how far it is) is clean too filled with a beautiful view of the lake. So breathtaking! We walked over to the boat house to rent canoes. They rent out canoes, kayaks, row boats and pedal boats. After a while, we decied we wanted the pedal boats where we us our legs to pedal. Haha, it was so much fun! It’s $ 7 for an hour but unfortunately, they only take cash and you need a $ 10 deposit. Right when we got in the water though, it was breathtaking! Nothing but clean water, beautiful skies, and the scenery was just gorgeous! Pedaling through the water and seeing houses, docks, and just the beauty of nature. I enjoyed it. Perfect for summer!
The trail is lovely. Great view, nice clean bathrooms, and there are even clean play grounds too. Perfect for BBQs, family gatherings, boating, jet skiing, canoeing, fishing, etc. Not many places to swim, but it is still really nice, with decent parking and a great view. I think it’s so peaceful and relaxing to come to a nice place to enjoy the trail and nature.

Nice quiet place to relax after sunset

Great for family gatherings, parties, kids, etc. Lots of playgrounds, nice trails, small hills, great for running with dogs, great for boaters. Not many places to swim. No swimming with the dogs there, which is sad for us. It does get pretty crowded most of the time on those good days. Fishing is nice, but never really catch anything there. Decent parking, no military discount, and there IS a fee to enter grounds. The price has changed though recently. Nice views, easy docking. Overall its decent if you like crowds, paying fees, and have your own boat (etc).

This trail is relatively flat with some short hills. There are a variety of scenery to enjoy while strolling or running including a beach, wetland of forest, and a path adjacent to the parks road. Off-​path sections include the beach, a loop around the playground, a loop around the ballfields, and a few strides through a shallow stream. Summer per vehicle parking and boat fee charged. Very relaxing trails to walk, beautiful scenery surrounding the trails. Trails about 3 miles long.
