West Hylebos Wetlands Park was a quiet and windy place when I visited on the morning of Saturday 9…read moreMarch 2024. I arrived to find the parking lot open and with plenty of available spaces, which was a relief after driving past a couple times the day before and seeing the lot full. When I was leaving after walking the path(s), I found another group was arriving. The park has walking path(s), historical buildings with informational placards, and benches spread out along the walking paths. The vegetation in bloom was varied on my morning stroll and I found the quiet of the park grounds peaceful. Looking up as I neared the water, I noticed a small black, white, and red woodpecker land above eye level in a tree. The bird hopped around the tree a little bit and found a pocket in the tree to search for food in. It continued to forage in that one spot for a few minutes before looking around the same tree for another food spot.

Parking lot has a porta-potty.

Which was perfect for exploring the beach. Fun to see all the shells and things that are normally under water. Please tu of picnic areas for larger groups too. The creek trail was closed from one side but when exploring discovered a fallen tree. Easily able to navigate over the log. See my photo. I'm sure at high tide the beach area decreases but it's all beautiful. The creek trail is short. Under two miles. Discovery pass required. Get out there! Enjoy your life! SYOY!

Our very first time going to this State Park on Saturday, August 10th, 2024. There was a Cambodian…read moreFestival happening, so decided to check it out. We arrived at 1:00 PM and found the last parking space available at the end of the furthest parking lot area. Took our time taking a stroll to the event, where the food vendors were on the grassy area. Saw some Laotian food - Hmong Sausage with Sticky Rice, Chicken Wings, Whole Chicken, Papaya Salad, Fried Banana, also saw that they had Thai Iced Tea, Thai Iced Coffee, Lemonade flavors, Sandwiches, and Grilled Pork. We walked to the other side where they had a stage where they were having some dancing, live music and speeches. In addition, there were accessories, and clothing/apparel vendors who were lined up on the other side. First part of the Review is for the Cambodian event, which was a 4 out of 5. ------ The Park itself was easy to navigate around. Parking seemed self-explanatory, even though it was fully packed. There were clear signs of what was required of the State Park. You had to enter with a Discovery Pass or a National Park Pass at the Gate/Entrance. Walked around the beach area until the end of the trail where they had Private Property. Took some pictures and scenic videos of the water and scintillating viewpoints. It was a pretty short stroll after eating our lunch. But overall an enjoyable experience. Would like to visit again even without an event going on... Review of the Park - 4 out of 5.

Decided to go Trout Fishing on Friday (5/16/25) afternoon around 2:00 PM. When we got to the Lake,…read morethere were 4 people at the fishing spot. We set up our gear and poles. It was kind of a gloomy day, so fish weren't biting as often. About 2 hours later, we had caught 3 Trouts each. Getting the next 2 took a while longer, as I caught mine an hour and a half later to get my limit of 5. Dunno what factors caused the fish not to bite that regularly, but it was definitely a very slow day/evening fishing on the shore. Caught a couple of big ones, though. Nice sized fish...

The space here is huge and there's lots to see and do. There's an area with a playground for kids which is camp themed, and there's also different types of sport courts. The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained as well. There's also covered areas that you can rent which have basic grills that you can use for stuff like hotdogs and burgers. The water always seems pretty clean. I haven't swam in it but my siblings and kids have and it always seems fine. They also have boat rentals here which are really cool, and there's a few different types that you can rent. It's a little over $20 an hour but I think it's worth it for sure. It's a great lake and I'm sure we'll be back quite a few times this summer!

Nobody sketchy here either. Its all friendly people either walking with their dogs or kids. There were two loop trails past the off-leash dog park. That park is near the south entrance and is huge enough for your small or little doggos to run around in. You can continue going and there are two loop trails to choose from. You go left and there is a dip, you go straight and its an incline. My dog felt nervous going down and decided to go on the incline. We sadly didnt finish the trail because i was running out of time, but i do believe these trails are a bit long. Overall, i would love to continue taking my dog here. It is hidden behind a neighborhood and is a peaceful walk of a trail.
