Pet Leash Policy:  A map has been developed which shows on leash areas (around all of the more developed areas of the park), off leash areas (south of the boat launch adjacent to the river; and southwest of the Tennant Lake Interpretive Center), and no pet areas (north of the Lead Park Ranger's house extending to park boundary, north 2/3 of the lake and the boardwalk). All pet waste must be cleaned up.

River Dike Trail:
Easy 2.2 miles one way. Meanders along the tranquil Nooksack River. A myriad of forests, wetlands and farmlands offer a diversity of outdoor experiences. Trailheads are located at the northend boat launch, the main Park lawn, and at the south end at Slater Road.

Trail from Tennant lake to Hovander Hovander / Tennant Trail:

Tennant Lake Marsh Boardwalk:
Easy 1.4 mile loop. Unprecedented journey through an actual marsh, some pretty cool ecological stuff! Slow down and spend a little quiet time at the observation deck. The trailhead starts at Tennant Lake Tower behind the Fragrance Garden. Enjoy spectacular views of Mt. Baker and Tennant Lake from the tower, or use the video camera at ground level. Check Current Conditions for closure information.
