Lowell Johnson Park

Really nice place to drop in for a quick swim on a hot august day.

This is the best kept secret to go swimming if you don't mind paying for the ferry fees. It's a beautiful and scenic spot with a platform island to jump off of and a slide island for the kids. It does get crowded quick sometimes.

A hidden lake on Anderson Island is definitely worth the trip on the ferry to visit. Parking is limited, so plan accordingly. With two floating docks with platforms to dive from and a slide on one of them, it's worth making a whole day adventure out of it.

I'm hesitant to post about this hidden treasure. It would be sad if it were mistreated. This park/swimming hole deserves to be respected. What a great place to visit. A short drive from Olympia. Great for all ages. Easy to access trails for a baby stroller or wheelchair will take you right down to the water. There is a section for young children and another beach for teenagers and above. The photos I posted were taken during the off-season. My two year old daughter was scared of the water until swimming here. She didn't want to leave. It is a very clean and healthy lake. The water is a little chilly and the deep parts have water plants growing on the bottom are a bit startling at first. But that is normal for a lake. Please come and enjoy with respect to the locals and the wildlife.

This place was fantastic , fun and clean. The water was warm, the trails are easy to find. Very well maintained!
