General
The mileage of trails is low, but this is a short drive from Seattle or Bellevue and could make for a quick after work ride. The trails are similar to St. Edwards State Park, but with less mileage of trails and less technical. Two of the three sections (NE and SE) are mostly rolling singletrack with some short steep ups and downs, and the other section (NW) is mostly flat. Divided into 3 "quadrants" by intersection.
Dogs are allowed off-leash if under voice command. Horses are allowed on some trails (and all of the SE quadrant) and may be occasionally encountered.
Usually dry during the summer. Large muddy puddles develop in the wet months, like most other westside trails. Some horse "obstacles" in SE quadrant, especially in summer. Nettles everywhere in summer.
City park, heavy suburban use. Please be cautious and courteous to other trail users.
There is a QFC, drugstore, Starbucks, Mexican restaurant less than half a mile from the parking area off of SE 68th St to the west of the intersection of SE 68th St and Island Crest Way.
