Hiking Ike Kinswa State Park - Lake Mayfield Trail

Connect campsites along scenic Mayfield Lake with the Ike Kinswa State Park Campground Loop.

The state park is a convenient stop on highway 12. Whichever of Washington’s southern volcanoes you're visiting, Lake Mayfield is a wonderful basecamp, and the 1.5 mile trail near the campsites is a nice way to wind down after a day of hiking.

Lively bird-filled forests make way to swimming holes. Enjoy this popular fishing and family camping location.
