Confirmed from North Lake Tapps 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.
Waterside 80-acre park with a boat ramp, swimming facilities & picnic areas with grills.

The Rainier park, the park where Mt.Rainier looks way closer to you than it acutally is! getting a photo of the water and Mt.Rainier is one of the best things to capture at this park. plenty of parking and lots of ground to walk along with your family. this is one of the best well maintained parks to visit!
Very beautiful spot to hang out and walk around. Not a huge hike or trail but it's nice for a good walk from one side to the other. Take in the beautiful view.
Lake Tapps is a beautiful park. Restrooms, playgrounds and has security. Dog friendly but not many trails. Great place for picnicking, swimming, paddle boarding and boating. Water is crystal clear !!! I did find an amazing dog trail 🐶
