The main trail from the parking lot allows hiking, biking, and trail riding, but do be aware that many of the narrower trails are aimed just for hikers--just watch the signs. The grade of the trails is surprisingly level and the scenery is very relaxing; you'll be surrounded by trees and pockets of meadow as you journey along. There are also several ponds and streams throughout the park, if you're lucky you might find a Great Blue Heron fishing.

This park is a great place to spend a couple of hours or all day exploring the trails. We were surprised to find how much we felt we were at a park in the mountains without traveling far out of the city at all. This is definitely one of the best kept secrets in the Seattle area.
