Denny Creek Trail

Reviewed By HoaLuong - Newton, United States

The hike to the first fall took about 45 minutes. the trail to the 1st fall was cool and mostly shady. The first fall has small water areas for kids to play, you can walk along the creek and explore. We spend a good hour there. The main trail after the first fall takes another ~45 minutes hike up the mountain which is rocky and sunnier but amazing view of the mountain and the fall is beautiful and peaceful. Did not continue to hike to the 3rd fall and to the lake. But would definitely come back to this trail. The trail is great for everyone, family with young kids and dogs

Iron Horse Trail

A popular mountain biking trail located just outside Seattle.

Reviewed By michaellQ7410PC

Nice, wide rail-trail, though perhaps better suited to gravel or mountain bikes than hiking. The tunnel is quite dark and cold at all times of the year, and good lights are a necessity. With COVID a mask is recommended even if there aren't people right around you since it is a relatively closed environment. Inside the tunnel is a packed surface that can readily be handled by wheelchairs and road bicycles. Outside the tunnel the trail surface is gravel. There are hands-free flush toilets and hands-free faucets at the Hyak trailhead, with ample parking and picnic tables. Discover Pass required for parking. Pleasantly surprised to see a bike stand and compressed air dispenser by the restrooms! Heading east along the trail one can find views of the lakes, trail-side camping areas and road access to the nearby towns. Very peaceful.

Rattlesnake Lake Recreation Area

Reviewed By 887KathyM

Visited Rattlesnake Lake Recreation Area recently on a fall weekend (a Sunday) for a memorial service in the Cedar River Watershed education center. The location, including lake and mountains, is beautiful, especially with the leaves turning color. The buildings fit seamlessly into the surroundings. The kitchen was well set up and the staff was very helpful. Would love to come back and explore the center more thoroughly.

There’s truly a selection of stores here, from Nike to OshKosh B’Gosh to Hot Topic to Banana Republic. It’s great to get clothes for kids, teens, and adults. There’s food in the outlet mall, and there’s even a geocache somewhere there!
