Nice walk in the woods; not worth driving any great distance to get there.

I hiked in from the power line trail across from Ben Franklin Elementary at about 9:30AM. LOTS of ripe Salmon Berries. It rained hard and I had many puddles to jump in. I entered the west section of the park and had to squat under a tree for a while to find relief from the rain. I saw about 5 other people on the trail this day. No horses. I covered about 5 miles in my Vibram 5 Fingers. I probably wouldn't ever go barefoot in this park because of all the horse manure. I hike this park several times during the week and never see many people. It's really a hidden gem.

Perfect for a day hike

We decided to do a close hike since we had a busy weekend. We arrived around one to a fairly large parking lot with many parking spaces open. The trail itself was in good condition. We had to side step horse manure here and there, but it didn't take away from the hike at all. We only came across a few runners and a couple of horseback riders during this short hike. The trail meanders along the back of some homes in Kirkland and passes some power lines. Lots of great light filtering through the trees. Overall, a nice very easy hike to get the legs moving if you live in the area.

A little muddy. Wear good boots/shoes.
