Lake Hills Greenbelt is on 156th Ave which runs north and south.One place
to park is at the corner of 156th and SE 16th. There's a ranger station
there, with some neat displays, and a little Audubon store, some Pea-Patch
gardens, and a demonstration garden. There's maps displayed to show the
walking trails.

One neat feature of this area is it covers several different ecosystems in
a small area. You go from lake to wetland to coniferous woods to open
meadow and agricultural areas, too. Audubon sponsors nature walks there one
Saturday a month, and a ranger leads them the other Saturdays. There's
brochures available there to tell you all this, or contact East Lake
Washington Audbon Society. Their Web page is at
