7. Bonney Lake Skystone Park
Nestled in a residential area on the south side of town, this park was built around the Bonney Lake Skystone, a huge glacial erratic that is thought to have been used by early Native Americans, possibly to map the constellations. The trailhead is located between two houses, but it's easy to see from the street. Be aware that there are only two parking spots (and one is the designated ADA spot) but you can park along the street in the cul-de-sac. The park features a small playset and hiking trail, but no restrooms. After you check out the Skystone, there is an out-and-back hiking trail with a gentle incline that is about a mile long.
Gnome hint: There is a gravel path behind the Skystone enclosure. Walk down that path a bit and see the door up high.
Find it: 11313 176th Ave. E., Bonney Lake
