Hazel Wolf Wetlands Preserve is a nature preserve owned by Forterra NW (formerly Cascade Land Conservancy). The Preserve is open to the public from dawn to dusk for the quiet enjoyment of nature. Only foot and equestrian traffic is allowed and dogs must be kept on a short leash on the main trail. Currently, no dogs are allowed on Ann’s Walking Trail.
This 116-acre wetland and forest habitat is key to a network of protected habitats stretching from the Issaquah Alps to Lake Sammamish. Several trails lace through Hazel Wolf and take you past a large beaver dam, across a wooden bridge and onto a wetland viewing platform.
