Great place to walk in the woods with little ones. Not at all crowded.

This was a great, close to home quarantine hike! We walked the loop trail and also went down to the lakeshore. Total stats were 1.6 miles, 60 feet elevation gain.

At the trailhead, there was a warning posted about aggressive owls in the area. We didn't think much of it until we actually saw one while we were hiking! Luckily, we scurried away before it could attack. If you are walking in the area, use caution because owls are known to dive-bomb perceived threats, including hikers.

The rest of the hike was uneventful. I would definitely recommend that you take the short spur trail down to the preserve's namesake. The loop trail has many large trees and a few bridges. Overall a great local hike!

Tucked away in suburban Sammamish, this is one of the best urban hikes I've been on.  Although you can see some of the houses, it is a quiet neighborhood and you soon forget about them.  I went around the Hazel Wolf Wetlands clockwise, picked up Ann's Walking Trail, and had lunch at the deck on the North end of the wetlands.  I continued south to Beaver Lake Preserve via Fred's Way.

I didn't like Beaver Lake Preserve as much as the Hazel Wolf Wetlands, but I'd wanted to check out the trails as I'd been to the park before.  It's essentially forest with guided maps along the way, which are helpful as there are many branches which could potentially be confusing.  I went clockwise again and headed down to the lake, which is flanked by many houses.  I looped back up to the Hazel Wolf Wetlands and back to my car.

All in all, not a bad way to spend an afternoon during the Coronavirus 2020.  People were respectful and gave each other 6 feet of space when crossing paths and I'm glad this park is open for people to use at this time.

Beautiful trail. Perfect to go with kids. We enjoyed the hike and the calm lake towards the end of the trail!

The trail was nice and well kept. It was a nice sunny day and the trees provided lots of shade as to not get over heated. The parking lot was small but there weren’t many people on the trail in the early evening. The signs were very helpful in determining which way you were going. The foliage was fantastic with a view of furns and large tress, the fallen ones were cut and put along the path as to not block the trail. There were a couple stinging nettles over the pathway but not many.
