A pleasant enough city park with some walking trails (I don't think I'd really call them "hiking trails") and some bucolic settings, with the highlight being Whatcom Falls, which is a 30-second walk from the parking lot.
BY the standards of the Pacific Northwest, the scenery is not exactly knock-your-socks-off stunning, but by the standards of a park in an urban area, it is quite nice. And if it were in Indiana or Nebraska, it'd surely be a state park (probably the most-visited one in the state), and would be featured in the state calendar every year. In beautiful Washington state, it's merely another scenic place.
The tanks at the fish hatchery are kind of interesting.
I was also impressed by how clean the bathrooms near the playground were. Normally bathrooms at parks can be a little dicey. But here they were nice.

I lost track of the milemarker beside the road , but I believe it was 47 miles along the highway from Interstate 5 in Bellingham. The end of the road takes you to this unbelievably gorgeous sight . I had visited a handful of times in the past , but yesterday it was so clear that I actually swore out loud as I parked . To my left was the spectacular Mt Shuksan and on my right was Mt Baker . I hadn't even left the car yet and these two amazing and completely different looking mountains looked as though I could reach out and touch them !
I first started to hike the Table Mountain trail . I had no intention of trying to make it to the top, but I went up until it became a bit steep and the loose rock on the trail made it a little more difficult for the shoes I was wearing , plus I'm not in shape. I literally would only take 5 to 10 steps and stop and take another picture .
If you appreciate nature I would highly recommend a visit and at least a short hike . The Artist Point trail is relatively flat .
You do need a pass to park anywhere within the final few miles of the highway . You can purchase a pass at the visitor center in Glacier , or either at the ski lift or Artist Point lot near the restrooms . It's only $5 and rangers do check at times . A heads up for visitors who are not from the US , when I stopped at the visitor center it was closed . There is a machine there, but it doesn't accept foreign credit cards . It does take US $ and luckily I had $5 with me . I was surprised it didn't accept Canadian cards being so close to the border .
Also, load up on snacks, drinks and make sure you have enough gas . The last chance to get anything was in Maple Falls , 20 miles from Artist Point.

Locally owned and operated Mount Baker Vineyards has been producing award winning Washington wines for almost 30 years. Relax and enjoy the view of the vineyard and the Sisters Mountains from our deck. Tasting offered year round. Picnic tables and areas for small groups.
A pretty plain tasting room but the selection and taste of the wines makes up for it. I tasted 5 wines for $5 and not one was a clunker. My favourites were the Malbec ($23) and Madelien Angevine ($14). Note that most of the grapes for their wines are trucked in from Yakima.

Just north of the historic downtown area and south of the airport and nice residential areas is this woodsy park.
Entering from the west, this is a great place to sit or lie down and read and/or for kids to play on a variety of creative structures. It's like you're in a world that's a bit away from where you came, particularly if you're a big city folk. It's a great place to practice mindfulness or to let your inner kid out.

Glaciers, crevasses and snowy pinnacles make this area a challenge for skiers.
I went along the Mt. Baker Highway with my friend and her kids to see the snow that was still in the Mt. Baker ski area in July.. My friend had just been up there showing other visitors the beautiful area a week before and thought it was worth going again. We actually didn't get up to Mt. Baker, but did see it & Mt. Shuksan. We stopped for a picnic at Nooksack Falls then continued on to Picture Lake-AMAZING! It was totally like a post card and a beautiful spot for photographs! There was a short & easy flat walk around the lake. You could see the snowy mountains, the lake, trees, meadow- definitely worth the drive. There was just parking along the road there and no facilities, but there was a pit toilet at the Falls.

The Historic Fairhaven Village is a charming community located on the south end of Bellingham, WA. In this turn-of-the-century village you’ll find yourself amongst locally owned and operated boutique shops, fine dining, curated art galleries, hotels, spas and outdoor activities aplenty! Surrounded by bay and wooded trails it’s the perfect launching point for a hike, cycle or kayak on the bay. The Fairhaven Village Green park, much like a town square, hosts a summer Farmer’s Market, live music, outdoor movies and annual festivals like Dirty Dan Days, Bellhaven Jazz Fest, Ski-to-Sea Fairhaven Festival, Winterfest and much more! Just minutes off I-5 it’s easy to arrive by car. There is a transportation hub within the village which houses Amtrak and Greyhound stations, Bellingham city bus, Alaska Marine Highway Ferry and San Juan Cruises. Whether it’s a day trip or a long relaxing weekend there truly is something for everyone in Fairhaven.
We went over to Fairhaven to "check it out" and we loved it. Cozy town with lots of fun shops to browse in and good restaurants and breweries. Had a great time!

We have discovered that local Museums often provide the best history of a community. One will find that the community of Lynden has a uniquely patriotic history based on hard work, American values paid for in blood and sweat over two World Wars, The agricultural history that is represented in technology and innovation is breath taking, This small museum is worth spending as many as three hours wandering the history of this small Washington City that attracts as many Canadians as Americans. The city itself is a destination spot with a real Dutch flavor and spotless streets and shops. Just a 20 minute drive from I-5 or Bellingham and you will treat yourself to a Northwest treasure. The people are friendly, the services are first class and the town feels like home used to.

Best park in Bellingham. The park runs along and over Bellingham Bay. A great view of the bay and sourounding city. Long boardwalk on the south side can be walked towards Fairhaven. The children’s play area is pirate themed and has great climbing area and slide. Woods Coffee on premises is a great place to grab a cup of coffee and pastry. Here you can sit inside where there is a fireplace or outside on patio. There is also a walk up window for outdoor ordering. There is also a good walking trail at north end of the park. Parking can be challenging in the summer, as there are a lot of visitors. Great place for families and singles. Dogs on leash are welcome. Many benches for sitting.

We also serve beer, wine, ciders and cocktails using spirits made in our distillery.
Bellewood Acres grows lots of apples, sell apples as apples, but also sells apples as cider and distilled spirits. We recently took a distillery tour, which was thoroughly enjoyable and educational. Apples are not yet ripe, so we didn't see the pressing, etc. (we will return for another tour then) but were able to follow the apple juice from pressed cider, to fermented cider to distilled spirits. The equipment is attractive, and the guide was an informed and engaged individual. We tasted small amounts of raw fermented cider as well as raw distillate from the middle distillation (the one they use to proceed to spirits) and finished vodka, gin, whiskey, and cordials. I am not a spirits drinker, but they all tasted better to me than what I'd had mass commercially - more fruity & flavorful. The rest of the establishment was also enjoyable. There is a gift shop, restaurant (snack place, really) and the grounds, which you are able to walk around on. They have a fall festival with pumpkin patch, etc. which would be fun for the kids, and we plan to return.

Any shows or concerts that you attend in this venue will be a treat. The Mt. Baker Theater is a beautifully restored 1927 architectural treasure, listed on the register of National Historic Places (be sure to look up at the art deco domed ceiling. The theatre is dedicated to showcasing some of the best live performing artists on both the professional and community levels. The Whatcom Symphony performs here, and the 3 PM Sunday matinee is among our favorite way to spend a nice rainy afternoon in Bellingham.
