The route loops through a restored wetland on a flat, wide, gravel trail. The area is very popular among birders, as it is home to over 200 species of birds.
Features: Birding — Lake — Views — Wildlife
Dogs: Leashed
The route starts at the Union Bay Natural Area parking lot. The trail follows
Wahkiakum Lane before taking a quick left on the
Yarrow Point Trail.
Yarrow Point presents great views of Lake Washington in front of Mount Rainier. Watch birds swimming in the lake and the many ponds nearby. The loop continues around to intersect
Wahkiakum Lane. Take a right and head back to the parking lot.
The restoration of the wetland began in 2000 after remaining vacant for many years. Many pipes, used to water the newly planted native plants, can been seen along the way.
