Description

Park in the main parking lot for Gateway Rotary Park off of Silverdale Way and start from there. Run toward the trailhead. The trail is made up of dirt, boardwalk, and gravel. The boardwalk portion is through the wetland part of the Clear Creek Trail and sometimes has water seeping through in lower spots. This section is a beautiful run that is nice and easy. Traffic can be heavy with walkers and dogs, but most everyone is courteous to each other's space.
