Everyone needs the occasional lazy day on a lake. For folks in the Puget Sound area or communities near Mount Rainier, Nolte State Park fits the bill.
Located 10 minutes from Enumclaw and a half hour from Auburn and Federal Way, this charming day-use park sits on placid, tree-ringed Deep Lake. The lake entices swimmers, paddlers and anglers, and a mile-long path around the lake offers peaceful activities for walkers, photographers and birders.
Gather the work group or family, because kitchen shelters and picnic tables make Nolte a sweet spot for low-pressure company gatherings, Sunday picnics and family reunions.
Nolte might be your perfect afternoon R and R break.
