Getting There
Driving directions
From I-405, take exit 7 and turn left onto NE 44th ST., before continuing straight onto 110th Ave., then Lincoln Ave for a total of 0.5 mile. Turn left onto Monterey Place for 0.2 mile, before continuing straight onto May Creek Park Drive for another 2 miles. Turn right onto Coal Creek Parkway, then turn left onto SE 91st and the trail will be on the left just after a guard house building. There is no dedicated trailhead, so you will have to find street parking.
Take Transit
Take the bus to the trailhead! Plan your trip using TOTAGO, or consult the schedule for King County Transit routes 114 and 240, which stop at the intersection of Coal Creek Parkway and SE 91st St, a couple hundred feet from the trailhead.
