Swan Creek Park — Sunday, Oct. 15, 2017

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

Went out for trail run starting at Swan Creek Park. Saw a few signs warning of break ins/don’t leave valuables in car so just be forewarned of that! The trail itself starts off as gravel and pretty wide but once you cross over the creek it becomes a dirt trail. Overall it’s pretty thin so just be cognizant if anyone coming from either direction as the trail is only really wide enough for a single person. The trail itself has a bit of rocks and roots peeking through so important to pay attention to footing! I’d recommend footwear with a bit of traction on the bottom like trail shoes or boots. Typical running shoes would probably lead to a bit of slipping especially if it rained recently. I definitely enjoyed the trail overall! It has its share of hills with some good grades (10-20% at times) which makes the run (or hike!) pretty exciting! Only complaint would be that the connector trails have maps where they come in which are helpful but the “You are Here” stickers have fallen off. You should still be able to associate where you are based on which trail head you’ve come to (first one you come to would be closest to your starting point and so on).
