The Interurban Trail provides that comfort for cyclists, making is a more family-friendly and easy path to ride. Most seem to have understood the etiquette of cycling among others, though there are still some who think they can do what they want, go where they please and not pay close attention to other cyclists. Just be careful, as always, but enjoy the ride. And take a moment to savor the moving art!

Sometime the trail takes you behind businesses through some sketchy areas, then through a forested area, around a lake, along 99... The scenery is always changing! That's good in case you need a rest, a bathroom, a drink, or to catch a bus because you can't walk anymore. The trail is very well maintained and a great place to walk or ride your bike.

What a beautiful creek! I walked the North Creek Trail earlier tonight for the first time, with a…read morecompanion. It was an interesting trail, and I felt a sense of wonder, awe, and adventure while traversing this trail. There is so much natural beauty to see here! I found myself wondering if walking on this trail may be defined as "urban hiking." I googled urban hiking, because I'm quite unsure of how it is supposed to be defined, and I am still wondering if this experience fits the definition! My companion and I pulled in to the address for this trail that is listed here on yelp, so we started walking on this trail next to the middle of the creek, at the part of the trail that has the creek on one side of it and parking lots and office buildings on the other side of it. We walked up the short entry trail from the parking lot, and we took a right and walked all the way past the larger bridge with the wooden beams overhead. Then we turned around and walked all the way back, and passed our initial starting point. I'm very glad we didn't just head back to the car when we had reached our starting point again, because in my opinion some of the most beautiful parts of the creek were located in this section of the trail. At one point the trail meanders through a thicket of blackberry bushes, which are thick on both sides of the trail. The trail is wide enough that we were able to stay in the center of it and not worry about getting poked by blackberry thorns walking through that section, and I saw tiny beginnings of blackberries on a few of the branches. (Blackberry season is a ways off still.) For the sections of this trail that we chose to walk on today, a large part of the trail was gravel, and another large part of the trail was paved. I definitely did not need to be wearing my hiking boots. There was little to no incline, and the trail was fairly wide at most points. There were quite a few roots crossing the trail though. There were 4 or 5 bikers during the hour or so that we were walking on this trail. The bikers that were coming up behind us yelled out "on your right" or rang their bell, so that was nice. There were about 4 or 5 other people who were also walking on this trail whom we passed as well. We saw two geese floating on the water, and we saw two tiny birds in the trees. We also heard the birds chirping for a bit as well. It was a lovely sound. We ended our exploration of this trail at the smaller bridge towards the end of the creek, and we finally reluctantly headed back towards the spot where we had parked the car, as it was about to get dark. I loved how the creek wound around several large green areas in the middle of the water, with abundant long grasses waving all over them. This was one of the last sights that I saw on this trail tonight, and it was magical! I would love to walk this trail again, but I am planning on exploring several new-to-me hiking trails and walking trails this year, so I'm not sure if I will be back to walk this trail again anytime soon. But I am very happy that I chose this trail to walk on tonight!

This trail also has several spots with picnic tables and I even saw one bbq. The trail is shared with dog walkers too.

If you're visiting the town center this trail is a nice refuge that brings you into a lovely natured area. No restrooms on the trail. So, be aware. Happy adventures and happy Yelping.

In fact, there were quite a few times, where I just had to pull my feet out of the pedals & walk a little. Overall, I probably had to walk about 10 times going uphill. But---once you turn around. The roller coaster is on! I'm a bit of a fraidy cat, but I barreled down the trail pretty fast. I'm not a veteran of singletrack, so I had to really look out for roots, big rocks, holes, etc.---cuz I didn't want to eat it. So it took about 20min up this trail and about 5min down. It was a workout and hella fun downhill. There are a few ladder bridges and other types of bridges on the single track trail. If you want some serious dirt, give these trails a try. I also took the road/bigger trail which is at the very bottom of the gulch/valley. This is more of a road, and it's fairly straight and it goes up from the trailhead (paralleling the train tracks). So, there is talk of selling off this land for development. That would be a total shame Check out the website for this area and get the lowdown on this trail system's future. Hopefully Mukilteo will by this area and keep it as a cool place to hike and ride.

Spotting some water beyond a fence along a trail down slope from the trail I was on, I made my way over to check it out. The surface was calm and a solitary duck was forging for food, plunging its head beneath the surface of the water and coming back up to chomp what it found. The trees were tall and provided protection from the small falling raindrops. Wild berries were in bloom on a few plants along the trail. For parking, I went with street parking near the walking entrance on 83rd Avenue West and 208th Street Southwest.

The road to this trailhead gets very rocky with a lot of pot holes so please be careful. I don't advise bringing a nice car - use a car that's meant for these dirt, rough terrain roads. The drive there is deep as you ascend up the mountain by car and park on the side of the road. Immediately you'll see a large sign to help guide you. The hike is very fun with mild elevation gain and a lot of flat ground and natural terrain. You can tell not many people come here. its a very quick 15 minute hike till you get to this beautiful open source lake. Its absolutely gorgeous. There's a spot for a campfire as well. I highly recommend coming here. The trail also splits into a fork; one going to bear lake and the other pinnacle lake. Pinnacle lake is just roughly an hour to an hour thirty minute hike. Do not attempt when it just rained because the trail is muddy and all dirt. Both places are beautiful and a must for anyone that loves hiking There are ALOT of mosquitoes at this time so wear repellant. I would also reccomend some real hiking shoes if you're attempting pinnacle. Its an ankle breaker at some points
