The is the best hike we've taken in this area so far…read more The trailhead has a good amount of parking in a dirt lot. Across the road is parking for horse trailers. Several signs at the trail head give a bit of info on the trails and a community bulletin board. These paths are mixed use: bikes, horses, runners and walkers. We followed the 'walk on the right' policy we've encountered on other local trails. Pets are welcome on a leash. Tote out and dispose of any doggie waste. We walked toward Lake Sawyer. From the parking lot, keep left at the first two trail branches and the lake is straight ahead. A porta-potty, trash bins, two picnic tables, a few benches and informational signs are near the lake. There are several geese here, water lily's and a field to run and play. The trails are dirt, gravel and rocky in places. Some are wide enough for a car while others are single file. We passed through fields of foxglove, berries trail side, and fallen trees that have been cut through. It's a fairly easy path with some inclines. We were unable to explore as much as we'd like but it appears you can walk about 3 miles to the Black Diamond trailhead through the preserve.

Awesome trail to knock out an almost 6 mile run. There is always a decent amount of foot traffic so…read moreit feels safe, but it's still secluded in some areas. There is different parking areas available throughout the trail and I've never had any issues - just leave nothing in your car. There is portable toilet about 1 mile into the trail. I don't utilize this trail anymore, but I recommend if you're looking for decently paved trail for walking/running!

According to what I have seen on bike maps for bike paths for the cities and towns in this area the…read moreMilton Interurban Trail also goes by the name of the South Interurban Trail. There's another trail by the name of Interurban Trail in Kent. Technically I'm not sure if it's considered all one trail or not. Perhaps it doesn't really matter as long as you enjoy them. For this reviewing experience I'm covering the south trail. I tried to find this trail once before and my GPS wanted to take me to the trail in Kent. After looking at the map and struggling to find it I moved on to some other trails to explore on. I used the AllTrails app on my second attempt to find this trail and it was so much easier to find going off of that map on the trail app. I took my electric scooter out for this trail and enjoyed it very much! The trail doesn't have a lot of steep hills or slopes so I got a fair amount of riding in rather than an abundance of walking! Scenery here isn't too bad. The trail goes through a wooded area the whole time you are on it but no unique or dramatic features along the way but being out here on this trail is still nice. Some tree roots make bumps in various parts of the trail so cyclists and people like me on scooters should probably be cautious of that. Nice trail for the Milton community!

They have a porter potty and they have cameras as well to over look the parking lot( which is gravel). Not to many trails and can be very difficult trying to reach the bottom so would recommend going with a group if you tend to venture towards the falls. Overall hope to see you smokers out there with me lighting it up baby!

Waste of time. Falls? More like a little spring...blocked by wire fence and overgrown scrubs.read more

After getting singed by a desk worker at King County Aquatic Center for not being able to make up…read moremy mind if I wanted to lap swim or not, I decided to give this place a try. It had piqued my interest when I passed it on the way in to the Aquatic Center, I came from Southbound I-5. So, after leaving the Aquatic Center I came to check out what was located here. There is a medium-sized parking lot off the main road, which is available only for trail users and contains a number of handicap stalls. The trailhead from this parking lot, closer to a few baseball fields than the Aquatic Center, is clearly marked and contains signage about the vegetation/Panther Lake and trail lengths. The Panther Lake Trail itself circled around Panther Lake and was a gravel path as of my visit on Wednesday 23 November 2022. Panther Lake is visible through trees and the ducks were out and making noise on my visit. Fun to have the wildlife reminding me I am not alone. Located by the parking lot is a small outhouse, with a large port-a-potti. It was long and not lit inside, so I found my flashlight on my phone to be helpful. Fortunately there was toilet paper, though I did resort to a mini hand sanitizer I had in my car to clean my hands.

The Panther Lake Trail is a welcoming green area in the heart of Federal Way and is adjacent to the…read moremuch longer BPA trail. The trail along the lake itself is fairly short and without much in the way of elevation change, so it's a fairly easy walk for someone who's simply taking the dog out for a bit, or someone who just needs a few minutes to be surrounded by some green. The access to the lake itself (it's more of a large pond than a lake) is also limited and minimal. The lake is visible from much of the trail, but don't go there if lake activities are the main draw. It's not that type of place. It is however, a good place for birds and they've some marvelous trees as well. In addition, if you want to add a little more distance to your walk, it's a great place to access the BPA trail, and also to add a nice loop section to your trail hike. On the negative side is its adjacency to the always busy Campus Drive, which can be noisy at the best of times--a penalty paid for the easy access and convenient parking. I could hear the traffic and nothing else for the first few minutes of the walk. However, the traffic noise does go away as you move into the woods towards the back of the lake.

There are lots of creepy kind of people that walk or maybe even live along that trail but I noticed so much less of that on this trail. You still get great views of the river as well as farmland which is refreshing to see. Lots of your "typical " sort of folk on this trail just enjoying the outdoors and a somewhat rural setting (on some parts of the trail).

Well that was disappointing…read more I would have to say the shorter side of this trail is not pretty or relaxing at all. You walk past a sludge waste treatment facility and next to industrial areas. It is however good for dog walking and small children if you want to get them started on mild outdoor trail walking. They might not know any different. The trail is paved, so on dry days you can ride a bike, push a stroller, or walk your dog. The city provides those doggy doo baggies, so please please pick up after your mutt. I'm sure when its dry you can play out on the grass..toss Frisbees and do a picnic but honestly...the link trail side isn't where I'd want a picnic. On this day it was rainy and gloomy, full of puddles..some I had to tippy toe through, so it can't get much worse. Oh did I say this side was a short distance? lol Next time I'll hit up the trail on the other side. It's supposedly much much longer actually following the river almost into Tacoma. Moving on!
