WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.

Getting There

From Puyallup take WA-161/WA-512 south for about one mile. Take the exit for WA-161/South Hill/Eatonville. Keep right on the off-ramp and merge onto 31st Ave SW for 0.4 mile. Turn left onto 94th Ave for 1.5 miles, then turn right onto 128th St E. After half a mile, turn left onto 86th Ave E. After a mile on 86th Ave the parking area will appear on the left.

Take Transit:

Route 402 services this area, stopping at the intersection of Meridian and 144th St. and the intersection of Meridian and 128th St., which are both about a mile walk to either end of the trail.
