very nice to walk
I love taking my dog to walk at the Belfair State Park. Particularly because there is not a leash law in Mason County. Its very nice to have a place to walk with him. The scenery is always very peaceful and relaxing. I like that they have a new playground as well that will get a lot of use in the summer. It is nicer to go on a sunny day because it is less muddy.
