About the Berthusen Park
Berthusen Park, located at 8837 Berthusen Road in Lynden, Washington, is a historic farmstead that dates back to 1883 when it was homesteaded by Hans Berthusen and his wife Lida Hawley-Berthusen. The park features their original barn and privy, both listed on the Register of Historic Places, which were built from trees grown on the farm.
Following the deaths of Hans and Lida in the 1940s, their entire 236-acre farm was bequeathed to the city of Lynden for the enjoyment and preservation of the community. Today, Berthusen Park offers a range of amenities including picnic areas, group shelters, playground activities, hiking trails through old growth forest, and horseback riding opportunities.
Visitors can also explore displays from the Antique Tractor Club, visit the Historic Barn with equipment on display, or take part in activities hosted by the Lynden RC Model Airplane Flying Club and the Lynden Shotgun Club. The park also features a Boy Scout Troop 28 Cabin, Bertrand Creek, and a peaceful country setting for relaxation and enjoyment.
In addition, the park house is available for lease as a private residence, and facilities can be reserved for events and gatherings. Berthusen Park is committed to promoting, enhancing, and protecting the historic, environmental, and educational opportunities within the park for the community to enjoy in a rustic and natural setting. The goal is to provide a beautiful, clean, safe, and pleasant environment for the public to use and appreciate.

Reviews of Berthusen Park
"The area has been cut recently (the last 2-3 decades I believe) so there isn’t much in terms of older growth or biodiversity but that minor quibble aside, it’s a cute and beautiful little network of trails close to town to go for a peaceful walk and clear your head for a bit."
"Best park in Lynden for clearing your head and getting out in Nature. One of the only places I can go in Whatcom County to see trees as far as your eyes can see without having to hike or drive a considerable distance."
"Nice destination for a walk in the woods. It was a great fall day - the shelters were busy with picnicking by the time we left. But it felt pretty uncrowded on the trails. The trails/signs were a bit challenging to follow compared to other parks we walk in. But it's not a big park so it didn't matter. Wandering encouraged. Only negative was the loud engine noises (ATVs? maybe - on private property) to the east, kind of disturbed the nature vibe."
"Nice place to visit, have a family picnic, or just go for a wonderful walk. The trails are really nice!!"
"Great place for a walk, with many wide, fairly flat (albeit unpaved) trails which are easy to walk on. It's so peaceful walking through many old, very tall trees and lush undergrowth. There are lots of parking spaces, numerous picnic tables, and also playground equipment for the kids. Restrooms are clean!"
