What’s Nearby
If you’re looking for adventures beyond your own backyard, Spanaway Lake is open year round and offers a good harvest opportunity for stocked rainbow trout. Spanaway Lake has some of the best fishing for rock bass in the area. The 135-acre park along beautiful Spanaway Lake is extremely popular with many year-round activities. Visitors to the park can explore a multitude of aquatic recreation opportunities, including two swimming beaches (no lifeguards), a boat launch, and a fishing pier. If you’d rather stay dry, there’s a new picnic area by the south swimming beach, ADA playground equipment with a seating plaza for parents and a new three mile trail system by Little Spanaway Lake.
You can’t miss the big vintage 1955 bus and eye-catching red/white striped building serving up hot dogs, shakes, burgers, chili and a little nostalgia at Lucky’s Drive-In.
Grab groceries and a bite to eat less than a mile in the Spanaway Village Shopping Center.
