Confirmed from Hyak County Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Popular park with clean restrooms, an awesome bridge, picnic tables and a dock, plus a boat launch and ramp.

“Hyak is a very good park if you want somewhere quiet to enjoy nature and some shade in the summer months.”
I had a great time with my friend at the park in the bathrooms were clean and half toilet paper.. there were lots of trees. There was a boat ramp and it was nice to walk your dog around.
Made friends with a chipmunk at the park today. Hyak is a very good park if you want somewhere quiet to enjoy nature and some shade in the summer months.
