About Wenberg County Park

Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage

Wenberg County Park covers approximately 124 acres along the northern shoreline of Lake Washington in Snohomish County, Washington. The park features a combination of forested uplands, open grassy areas, and lakefront shoreline, providing a rich variety of habitats for native flora and fauna. Established in the mid-20th century, the park remains a popular local destination prized for its family-friendly environment and well-maintained recreational facilities. Visitors can enjoy over four miles of hiking and walking trails that wind through Douglas fir and cedar forests, leading to quiet picnic areas and scenic viewpoints overlooking the lake. Wenberg’s shoreline offers swimming beaches, a boat launch, and opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. The park contains a large campground with both tent sites and spots for RVs, which makes it a favored overnight destination during warmer months. Wildlife enthusiasts often observe birds such as bald eagles, osprey, and waterfowl. The park also offers playgrounds, sports fields, and open spaces conducive to group gatherings and outdoor events. With easy access from the nearby cities of Stanwood and Marysville, Wenberg County Park strikes a balance between accessible outdoor recreation and natural beauty. Seasonal events and ranger programs add to the park’s family appeal, while its relatively quiet environment allows for relaxation and connection with nature outside urban centers.
