Northwest Hiking

A great hike and walk, the trail between Rooks Park in Walla Walla, WA and Bennington Lake offers a couple miles of wonderful views and scenery.  Starting out at Rooks Park, the trail rises gently initially, falls about 100 feet, and then rises and falls one more time before finally reaching Bennington Lake.

Although there are several different options, if snow is present, you’ll want to take the main gravel road.  It is well maintained and offers you a nice trail to walk on, even if there is a lot of snow on the ground.

In general, plan on dressing warm, but also look forward to great views of the lake if it does indeed snow (when you’re lucky enough).  To get there, go east on Isaacs, then turn right on Rooks Park Rd.  The trail is located over the bridge and to the left, where you can follow the gravel/dirt road all the way to Bennington Lake.  Happy trails!
