The park features a 70-site campground with electric and water hookup sites for tents and RVs, a sandy swimming beach on Lake Goodwin, fishing access for rainbow trout, largemouth bass, and yellow perch, a boat launch for motorized and non-motorized watercraft, reservable picnic shelters and day-use areas, ADA-accessible facilities including restrooms and campsites, a playground, and a scenic setting on one of Snohomish County’s clearest freshwater lakes.
Lake Goodwin is one of the clearest and warmest swimming lakes in the Puget Sound lowlands — the sandy beach at Wenberg is a local summertime favorite. The 70-site campground maintains the quality standards from its state park era.
Though no longer state-managed, Wenberg retains its full campground and day-use facilities and operates at county park rates — often lower than nearby state park campgrounds.
