Take a walk through the grounds of the Washington Park Arboretum, along the edge of Lake Washington, and near the grounds of the old MOHAI building. This is a nice urban romp, perfect for before or after work, or on a day when you just can’t get out of the city.

From the trailhead on E Foster Island Road, walk parallelling a marshy body of water called Duck Bay–an appropriately named small inlet off of Union Bay in Lake Washington. As you walk, look for kayakers or the eponymous ducks paddling about.
