🌤️ Local Note: Weather & Seasonality

Sunny-weekend parking can completely fill up by 10:00 AM. Trail conditions at Spencer Island can quickly become muddy and are highly tide-dependent, while the Forest Park Animal Farm operates on a strictly seasonal schedule. Leashed dogs are welcome on most trails, but be sure to watch posted sign restrictions.
