Fun Facts

In the early 20th century, Lake Wilderness was home to a resort that attracted visitors from Seattle and beyond, offering a retreat from city life.

Adjacent to the lake, the Lake Wilderness Arboretum spans 42 acres and features a variety of themed gardens, including a native plant garden and a woodland garden.

The Lake Wilderness Lodge, built in 1950, is a notable example of mid-century architecture and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Lake Wilderness Park hosts several community events throughout the year, including the popular Maple Valley Days festival each June.

Visitors can enjoy swimming, fishing, and non-motorized boating on the lake, as well as hiking and picnicking in the surrounding park area.
