Just east of Centralia, Seminary Hill offers hilltop wandering and views of Centralia, Chehalis and the Chehalis or Skookumchuck River Valley.
The reservoir was enlarged in the 1980s thanks to hard work by the Friends of Seminary Hill, as well as other key groups.
The trailhead, found at the end of Barner Drive offers an entrance sign with a map of the area, and provides access to the trails, which offer more than two miles of hilltop wandering.
To maximize your wandering, take the Barnes Drive trail to where it meets the Kiser Trail. Turn left, and head up the hill toward the reservoir area. From the end of the Kiser Trail. Here you can either turn back the way you came, continuing to the end of the Kiser Trail and follow the Indian Pipe Trail back to your car, or you can take one of the many side trails into the surrounding forest to explore as long as you like.
Don't forget your map!
In addition to the trail, visitors can enjoy interpretive signs and picnic tables.
