The ducks were out on my visit to Hauge Homestead Park this morning, Wednesday 12 July 2023. On my…read morewalk in to Silver Laker after parking my car, I spotted a robin foraging in the grass and a hummingbird zipping around at the edge of some trees. A work crew was at the edge of the parking lot. Small wildflowers were in bloom towards the water and ducks were floating and preening themselves near the shore. After a few minutes, a subset of the ducks broke off and paddled towards an area of the water covered with lilypads. It was possible to venture out over the water a little ways on a shorter dock and a taller pier. A foot path past the dock and pier continued on along Silver Lake. The sands of Thornton A. Sullivan Park across the lake were visible from the water's edge. One family of ducks was friendly, with an adult and two young ones coming closer when I waved and said hello. They stayed close to the water, but did waddle around a bit. The adult kept its eye on me, it liked it when I pulled my camera out and it felt like it might have been posing for the pictures I took.

I wanted to play…read morein the park so bad, there were some modern seesaw type things that I was really temped to try but I had my dogs with me and there were kids of course so I continued my stroll. There's a large lawn and a picnic area that's great for the kiddos too! The park leads to the lake, a dock and a trail where you can continue to walk around the lake. It's not too far of a walk, 30 minutes if you're walking slowly like we were. Along the lake we saw people fishing, people walking around the lake and others playing with their dogs in the water (there are signs that say no dogs on beaches and water but I've always seen dogs playing here....) . To walk around you have to walk through some residential areas where you are no longer on a trail around the lake but it's still fun.

Be careful of deep troughs of water and racing truck drivers! Once you're there, though, you'll find a well-kept parking lot and grounds, with the swiftly flowing Snohomish River as the perfect view for a contemplative dog walk, a jog, lunch inside your car, meditation on a bench, or a picnic in the open-air structure that houses several tables. While we were there on a Tuesday afternoon there were only two or three other cars there. We didn't stay long but it was nice to have lunch here and take a short walk afterward. Even the bathroom was well maintained. Views of the wilds of Ferry Baker Island and the ever changing water of the river make this a special place not too far from home. Bonus: the animal shelter is right down the street. You can adopt or donate after you enjoy the views!

The large grassy field on 196th Street SW is prefect for if you want space to be active and run around or play a recreation field sport that doesn't take up too much space. There is parking on both 196th Street SW and the short Wilcox Park/Veterans Way Drive on the backside of the park. I enjoy the row of American flags flying high on the front side of the park. It is both patriotic and makes the park easy to identify from the road when driving past. Sanitation wasn't a problem when I visited and the park was well taken care of. There is also a restroom building with running water.

It's beautiful being so close to the river and at the time there was fog present which for me I often enjoy as it adds layers and atmosphere at certain times and it did so here. There were also sand bars near the river we went on. The path we used started at another park, right next to Al Borlin and then led us back to Al Borlin. We wouldn't have known the difference between the two parks if it wasn't for the signs posted. We got some beautiful views of the mountains (which I think were the Enchantments) and of the river again from a different vantage point. This park would be great to come to during any of the four seasons as you are bound to get some beauty each time along with the seasonal aspect at work.

There are a few benches right as you pull in that have a nice view of scenery. As you walk down a semi steep slope, you are met with open field and a few lakes. We kept walking straight which led us onto a trail. There were many branches and obstructions on the path so just be careful! We stopped and had a beautiful view of a private beach along the river. I'm glad I stopped here with my family. It was good exercise and a lovely time spent with Mother Nature.

The park it well maintained, well lit and has excellent visibility for watching your kids run around. The problem is the transients and druggies. During our hour long picnic, we observed Marysville PD make contact with 2 separate groups of people at separate times. This is great on Marysville PD's part, but not so much for the park. It really makes it hard to enjoy the park with all the low lifes creeping around. Get rid of the methheads and my rating goes up.
