Grass Lake Nature Park

Grass Lake Nature Park is a nature reserve in Olympia, Washington.[1] The park has an area of 171 acres (69 ha).[2]

The central feature of the park is Grass Lake, a reservoir dammed in 1966.[3] Swamp grass in the lake accounts for the name.[3]

The lake and surrounding wetland has been owned by the City of Olympia since the 1980s.[2] Amenities include a 1.3-mile (2.1 km) hiking trail.[4]
