John J. • October 16, 2013A 2.8 mile trail with perfect view of the lake at the center. Great neighborhood too! I'll try to bring a bike next time!

NiteLite • July 11, 2015Scenic views, playground for all ages, and if you walk the trail halfway, there's a great spot right on the water to take a break so you can enjoy the view of Lake Washington and skip some rocks

Rony • August 14, 2013You cant go wrong with the traditional curried chicken roti- it is pretty awesome

Dustin D. • August 16, 2014Awesome view of the Seattle skyline. We did our wedding pictures here.

sullystan • September 11, 2011Head down the trail to the lighthouse, and if you're lucky, spot a seal on the buoy just off the shore. High tide days are my favorite for quiet beach walks, but some love low tide for shells
