There are a handful of small reservoirs off the side of the North Creek Trail, and this is one of the most notable. This small pond marks the southern terminus of the trail.

This small spur leads to an enchanting viewpoint rare among the park's lush green, heavily wooded, yet beautiful trails. It is worth the quick side jaunt and is a fantastic spot to stop and stretch before continuing the loop.

Japanese Gulch is a fantastic outdoor haven away from the city. You can explore different loops until you find the perfect one for a short or extended run amidst the park's lush green forest, which provides a beautiful natural backdrop. The west side has a lengthy and winding trail around the plateau's top, and the east side is mainly composed of climbing trails, with some great inclines available in different areas. The area is also a popular spot for mountain biking, so be aware of others passing by.

A small spur off Dueling Cedars leads to a charming viewpoint. While the area is heavily forested and lush green, limiting the openness of the view, it offers a nice break point to relax and take it all in.

Japanese Gulch is a popular area for hiking, running, and biking. Originally owned by the Mukilteo Lumber Company, it housed many of the mill workers who were Japanese. During World War II it was also used for defense purposes.

Thank goodness for Seattle's many, many pocket parks such as this one. They allow public access to the lakefront and often are quirky, wonderful little out-of-the-way spaces all on their own. Stop here for a rest and some wading in the shallows!
