Kelsey Creek Park Nature Trails — Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025

Watch your step!

What a crisp, lovely afternoon for a neighborhood jaunt.

Kelsey Creek is a haven for folks seeking reprieve from Bellevue's metropolitan qualities. The farm is a treat for families and kids. Folks hoping for a bit more quiet can cross the creek to join a short (and steep) series of woodland trails. It's also a great area to park and string together other parks like Willburton, Larsen Lake and Phantom Lake. You can even walk to the Bellevue Botanical Garden and make it a day.

Most of the recent snow has melted but the trail was muddy and slick in some areas. No animals were out this time, but I always appreciate the local fungus and boardwalks. #LoveLocalTrails

On one side of the creek is the parking area and farm. On the other side is a short series of trails, plus some awesome stairs to exercise on.
