Oh my gosh, so much potential! But this trail needs some serious love (maintenance) in order to safely get to and from the water. There is a serious drainage problem.

This place is great has a railroad and trains do go on it every 30 mins but mostly cargo trains also has a beach you can go on but you would have to cross the tracks! Otherwise this place has Beautiful sights and green Good for Kids!

Very pretty, but not well maintained. There are hidden zip lines and swings that have been built in the forest by locals, and the walk is very pretty. Worth walking through and taking a few pictures!

Gorgeous view, nice intermediate trails. Be prepared for steep trails and mud.

Decided to explore this park late June 2017. Long story short: I was disappointed; Poorly maintained trail, overgrown with blackberry & stinging nettle, not too enjoyable.Starting from the trailhead near 17717 15th Ave NW, Shoreline, WA 98177, theres a 5 minute walk down to a clearing with a bluff and a nice view. Few beer cans around but not too bad. A narrow and decaying wooden staircase leads down to the rest of the trail.Now dont get me wrong, Im not the kind of person who snubs a trail for not being wide as a freeway or for having a fallen log or two on the trail. But this trail was pretty bad: Dodging blackberry thorns and stinging nettles growing across the trail, decaying and washed out wooden staircases and boardwalks, and a lot of mud. I found a rope swing tied to a tree, but it swung right into a patch of stinging nettles, so not super fun. I wasnt able to reach the end, because the trail eventually tapered out, almost completely engulfed in overgrowth.Its a shame, because I feel this could be a very nice hike down to the water if the city got some resources together to fix the trail up. The surrounding neighborhood is very affluent. But at this point, I dont recommend continuing past the first viewpoint.

While the views are beautiful, the trails are in no way maintained and are a muddy mess most days. only go here if you got the right boots.

Well maintained trail that leads down to the railroad tracks and the beach. Also has some very nice vistas along the trail.

This is a nice park to go to year round. During the winter months there is a dog off leash area on the beach but dogs must be on leash during the summer. There is a walking trail and playground structures near the parking lot area, there are public bathrooms by the parking lot and down by the beach. There was s a shelter and fire pit area by the beach as well as one by the playground (no fire pit).

Its a small park with astounding water views, but not very accessible.There is a trail that leads through the park and down to the water, but you have to cross the raillway(there is no bridge to do so, meaning you have to trespass on BNSF property to get to the water.

Lovely place for a short but fun walk down to the beach. You have to cross over railroad tracks to get to the beach but you can see for a long distance if a train is coming.

Private park for Innis Arden residents. Nice winding trails but beach is really rocky, no real nice areas of sand, huge trains come whipping by just feet from the beach area.

The bluff is one of the coolest hidden places around. It has a wonderful and ever-changing path that takes you through the Boeing Creek watershed and down to a beach.

I have been an occasional trail user for several years and greatly appreciate the wonderful work that has been done on it. If you arent familiar with the park, be sure to scout it before planning anything special - it may not be what you want.

Cool wilderness reserve. Little more than a wooded area, but vital.

This park is accessible from the end of fifteenth ave. there is a nice trail through the trees with some good views off of the bluff. The trail goes all the way down to the train tracks and beach. I spent a lot of time there with friends.Just watch out for the occasional drug user and teenagers having sex, but those arent a huge problem during the day.
