Juanita Bay Park

Juanita Bay Park offers many opportunities for close-up views of a variety of wildlife in several types of habitats in Kirkland. The 144-acre park provides habitat for songbirds, waterfowl, raptors, shorebirds, amphibians, turtles, beavers and other small mammals. Interpretive signs are located throughout the park for self-guided tours. 

Nature Walks for Beginning Birders

Join us for a 2 1/2 to 3-hour bird walk in this lovely park on the shores of Lake Washington.  We meet at 9:00 a.m. on the third Tuesday of every month.  Led by one of the Juanita Bay Park rangers, who is also a member of Eastside Audubon, we will have a relaxed walk and look for any birds in the area.  We will also observe turtles in season from the west boardwalk and perhaps catch a glimpse of beavers near the long east boardwalk.   We will also look at the five major plant communities that support the more than 100 species of birds and wildlife in the park.

Bring binoculars and meet in the parking lot.  We welcome beginning birders, families, and anyone who just wants to take a pleasant walk.  There is no charge for guests.
