Battle Ground Lake First Day Hike

There will be two separate hikes. The 9AM hike will be a Ranger Guided interpretive hike by Ranger Ryan Reynolds. This hike will include information about the history of the park, species, etc..

The 1PM hike will be a feel good, get healthy hike with Ranger Friend. We will stop and talk if we see wildlife but will mainly just be enjoying the day.

Both hikes will be on the upper lake trail, which is an easy to moderate trail with a few elevation changes up to 50 ft. The trail has overarching views of Battle Ground Lake and many pine and cedar trees along the way. A volunteer will stay staffed at the interpretive shelter with touch table interpretive items, kids activities and snacks.
