Paradise Lake is a small freshwater lake in the north of King County, Washington, USA, located two miles east of Woodinville. The lake has no public access boat launch. It feeds into Bear Creek, which flows towards the Sammamish River at Redmond. Fish in the lake include cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and sockeye salmon as well as rock bass, pumpkinseed, walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike and yellow perch. A fishing license is required.The lake was formerly used to raise non-native bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) for the restaurant industry, and a high population of bullfrogs remains. The lake is also home to a very rare species of mollusk, Valvata mergella, collected by W. J. Eyerdam in 1941, B. R. Bales in 1958, and T. J. Frest and E. J. Johannes in 1995.Water quality in the lake was classified as eutrophic by the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks in 2003. The water was monitored by volunteers between 1996 and 2008. The water temperature was found to vary between 4 °C and 22 °C and thermal stratification during the summer was found to be stable. Two significant peaks in the algae population were detected, predominantly Dinobryon and other chrysophytes, in late May and in late September. Other species detected include several cryptophyte species and the diatom Asterionella formosa. Phosphorus content was found to be significantly higher in the depths through sedimentary release.

The Skykomish River is a 29-mile (47 km) long river in the U.S. state of Washington which drains the west side of the Cascade Mountains in the southeast section of Snohomish County and the northeast corner of King County. The river starts with the confluence of the North Fork Skykomish River and South Fork Skykomish River approximately one mile west of Index, then flowing northwesterly towards Puget Sound. It is joined by the Sultan River and the Wallace River at Sultan. It then meets the Snoqualmie River to form the Snohomish River at Monroe. The Snohomish River continues along the river valley eventually dumping into Port Gardner Bay on Possession Sound (part of Puget Sound).

The Snoqualmie River is a 45-mile (72 km) long river in King County and Snohomish County in the U.S. state of Washington. The river's three main tributaries are the North, Middle, and South Forks, which drain the west side of the Cascade Mountains near the town of North Bend and join near the town of Snoqualmie just above the Snoqualmie Falls. After the falls the river flows north through rich farmland and the towns of Fall City, Carnation, and Duvall before meeting the Skykomish River to form the Snohomish River near Monroe. The Snohomish River empties into Puget Sound at Everett. Other tributaries of the Snoqualmie River include the Taylor River and the Pratt River, both of which enter the Middle Fork, the Tolt River, which joins at Carnation, and the Raging River at Fall City. Many of the Snoqualmie River's headwaters originate as snowmelt within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. On August 8, 2007, U.S. Representative Dave Reichert (WA-08), King County Executive Ron Sims, and others announced a proposal to expand the Alpine Lakes Wilderness to include the valley of the Pratt River, a tributary of the Middle Fork, near the town of North Bend. The proposal would also give the Pratt River National Wild and Scenic River status.

Lord Hill Regional Park is a regional country park located in Snohomish County, Washington. The park features miles of wilderness trails for equestrians and mountain bikers, as well as hikers. The park grounds cover 1,300 acres (5.3 km2) of wilderness forest. Small ponds and wetlands are located within the park site. A large population of animals, birds, and fish inhabit the park.The park sits on a ridge that runs parallel to the Snohomish River. The ridge, which reaches nearly 800 feet (240 m) at Bald Hill, consists of vertical basalt outcroppings that rise from the river floor. Settlers arrived when Mitchell Lord purchased 80 acres (320,000 m2) on the hill in 1878 and started dairying on his 130-acre farm in 1884. His home still remains on the park grounds. By the mid-1930s, the area attracted the logging industry, and all the old-growth was cut down. In the 1980s, some second-growth timber was harvested by the Department of Natural Resources. At present, the park is under the management of Snohomish County Parks and Recreation Department but maintained by a group of volunteers, for the department lacks the resources to staff the park full-time.
