Hiking Chambers Creek Canyon

Chambers Creek Canyon is a deeply incised, forested stream corridor between Lakewood and University Place in the South Puget Sound region.

Consisting of 204 acres along a 2.5-mile section of Chambers Creek, the site engulfs trail users in a forested canopy of mature Douglas-fir, western hemlock, and western red cedar. With its thick native understory and the sound of Chambers Creek flowing through the canyon, it creates a unique backcountry experience in the middle of a dense urban setting.

The trail system here is a work in progress, though the park and trails are open for hikers to enjoy. WTA crews and Pierce County Parks crews are maintaining and working on the trail to keep it on a constant grade and improve the hiking experience.
