Tradition Plateau Swamp Trail Reopens

Good news, swamp fans - the Swamp Trail on the Tradition Plateau of Tiger Mountain has been rebuilt and reopened! The new boardwalk gets you up close to your favorite swamp flora and fauna.

The old boardwalk, put into service in the 1990s, was suffering from rot and deterioration, rendering it hazardous at times.  The new boardwalk features a fiberglass surface with embedded grit for good traction, even in the rainy season. 

The project was supported by the Washington Conservation Corps (WCC) beginning in 2019 with completion in July, 2020.  You can learn more and see a time-lapse video of the project construction on the City of Issaquah news blog:  Swamp Trail Reopens

Here are a few pics of the enchanting new trail:
