Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

We did several of the trails including Beaver Lake Trail, Pipeline Trail, River Trail and Main Trail and as an added bonus, we even climbed up to the look out point at View Point by mistake, but what a view that was on a beautiful sunny day! All of the trails are accessible and without issue. River Trail, the one marked 0.9, had the trail covered in water but it was passable on the extreme edges. This was on a day where it hadn't rained in a while. The trail down to the river had running water on the trail in places but with good hiking shoes this is not an issue. The map at the beginning of the trail is very accurate but despite this, we took Pipeline Cutoff Trail instead of Main Trail as we thought we had counted the third trail from Pipeline. Knowing we needed to take first left, we ended up climbing to View Point. It was there that we realized our mistake but we continued along that trail and picked up River Trail from Main. If you don't have a map, simply take a photo of the map at the beginning of the hike and reference it throughout.
