BELFAIR STATE PARK

This is a relatively small State Park, but one of our favorites. At first glance, you might simply see the campsites and playground. You need to go off the beaten path to discover its beauty. Bring your wood (or buy from the mini-mart), marshmallows and sticks to roast in the waterfront firepit. Or take a walk down the south side and enjoy the peace and tranquility. Let the kids discover the giant felled tree trunk that doubles as a slide. Skip rocks. Sit on the logs and soak in the silence. Or walk northward to what our son has dubbed "Bird Island." It's actually a sandbar of sorts, but a big adventure for a 9 year old.
We skip the waterhole out of bacterial concern, but love to wade up the salmon stream, hidden underneath a canopy of trees. The water is COLD, and very refreshing on a hot summer day. Keep your eye out for the rope swing and the log "bridge." Dogs are supposed to be kept on a leash, and unfortunately it appears that they're now enforcing this (due to a very grouchy old man with a pitbull who visits regularly and WILL complain if yours is not on one).
