Sunday hikes on the City of Issaquah’s Park Pointe property and the western half of the Lake Tradition Plateau are often solitary outings and good to know about for those times when you just want to get out but not work too hard.

This hike will start just outside the Issaquah Sportsmen’s Club (and its sometimes booming sounds of those using the gun range) and first travel through Park Pointe (and leaving the Sportsmen’s Club behind), then north to the Brink and Big Tree Trails on the Lake Tradition Plateau, then join the Wetlands Trail before returning to Park Pointe via the High School Trail.

This is a great route for pet owners seeking room for leashes and plenty of smell opportunities, so feel free to bring along your 4-legged friend. Be aware, however, we will begin and end near the loud noises from the Sportsmen’s Club, which might not be for everyone.

Registration required.
