Squires Lake Park

Squires Lake Park

Hike up a few short switchbacks to an azure lake surrounded by forests and foothills. Longer loops lead to a beaver pond, around the 5 acre lake to viewpoints and fishing spots, and connections to the long-distance Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail.

This is a wonderful place off the beaten path to unwind and soak up the beauty of nature.

The park's 84 acres were purchased by Whatcom County and the Whatcom Land Trust in 1995. The park opened in 1997.
