Lake Hills Greenbelt — Sunday, Apr. 18, 2021

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area
Blueberry bushes on the farm that haven't grown berries

The entrance to the Lake to Lake trail located next to the Larsen Lake Blueberry Farm, with many berry bushes surrounding the trail on all sides. The trail is a mostly bark and dirt path, which can be muddy at spots after raining. Mostly clean and easy trail to walk across consistently, good for dogs and children for short hikes. During the spring, there are a lot of green trees, dandelions, and berry bushes that are beginning to blossom. On the trail, there are a little bugs depending on the time of day as well as occasional birds, rabbits, and ducks that were seen during the hike. The trail is called the "Lake to Lake Trail" because it is a hike path that connects Larsen Lake with the neighboring Lake Sammamish, which is an optional route for hikers to take. Walking and biking are both fine for the trail overall. 

Around the lake, a path is made of dry gravel, which is also good for hiking. The trail leads around the lake itself in a loop and eventually reaches the end near spots on the path that open up to the lake, allowing for close-up views on the lake edge. There is also a wooden boardwalk around the end of the trail that leads towards the lake, which has signs that permit limitless fishing there. Aside from lily pads and ducks, the lake is mostly empty waters. Generally, the area close to the lakeside is marshy land and lots of mud, which is not good for walking around.
