Getting There

The trails have no direct road access, but can be accessed through the Lucky Memorial Dog Park.  From I-5, take exit 9 and head east on 179th St. for 3.2 miles, then turn right on NE 72nd St. for 1.0 mile. Turn left onto 159th for 1.0 mile, then turn right onto NE 92nd for 0.1 mile before this turns slightly to become 156th for 1.0 mile. Turn right onto NE 112th which turns into 154th for 0.4 mile before turning right onto NE 117th for 0.3 mile. Turn right onto NE 149th and your destination will be on the left. 

Park at Lucky Memorial Dog Park at the end of NE 149th St. There is parking for 25 cars. Enter the main dog park (this is an off-leash dog park so plan accordingly) via the gate on the left, proceed to the southwest corner, exit through the gate, and find the trailhead to the right.  Note that the road that leads to the trailhead (NE 101st Pl) is a private driveway and vehicle/pedestrian traffic is prohibited.
