Seeley Lake Park

This 1.3 mile trail serves the community as a training walk or as a lunchtime stroll in the new City of Lakewood.

Walk among young red alder saplings and in the growing season white snowberries and red and black blackberries. Small marshes appear suddenly amidst the brush and in the winter more of the pond is visible.

Seeley Lake is a runoff catchment for the city, thus its water level fluctuates noticeably with the rainfall. Despite this, the walk is a pleasant stroll on a wide, well-maintained path that provides green seclusion.
