📍 Champion Lakes, WA

★4.5(198 Google reviews)

A scenic Champion Lakes spot best for older kids and families up for a 5km lakeside loop, with picnic tables and BBQs. Just pack for gaps in shade and no public toilets.

I used to go swimming here, thought I'd check it out since it's been a while..the lake was beautiful to see again, kids exploring and playing on the playground equipment, nice sheltered seating areas, picnic areas, people bike riding, walking, swimming, people jogging and there's the rowing club, so you might just happen to see them practising, oh, lots of wildlife too..so much to see and do on this beautiful lake, a great place to visit right on our doorstep, go check it out

🏆 Family Action Verdict

If you've got older kids who like a natural wood playground and you're up for a big lakeside walk, this is a lovely spot - the 5km loop, picnic tables, and BBQs make it an easy morning out. Just know the play equipment leans older, so littler ones may need more from you, and plan around the gaps in shade and toilets.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Bring a hat and sunscreen - shade along the walking paths is limited
⏰Go before a bathroom break is urgent, as there are no public toilets on site
đŸŽŸī¸Pack a picnic or use the BBQ and sheltered seating areas
🚗Best for older kids who can handle the natural wood climbing equipment

“The whole place was very scenic looking into the lake from the picnic areas with walkways surrounding the whole lake. Looking from the south western side of the lake, it was very beautiful to see a few islets right in the middle from one end of the lake to the other end. The playground was more for older kids and mostly made from natural wood. The only thing lacking were the trees for shade while walking, and no public toilets available.”

Overview

The kind of morning where the walk is half the point: a 5km loop around a genuinely lovely lake that parents come back to weekly, with a natural wood playground that suits bigger kids and sheltered seating to catch the sunset. BBQs and picnic tables make it easy to linger, though the equipment leans older for littlies, and you'll want to plan around the thin shade and no public toilets.
