Lake Youngs Trail

This trail loops around the edge of the Lake Youngs Reservoir just east of the city of Kent. The reservoir is fenced off, but the trail winds through a mix of suburban and rural landscapes, rolling through hilly terrain.

The entire way is soft-surface and makes for a great loop for walkers, joggers and horseback riders. One portion of the trail passes along the fence that protects the reservoir and the other parallels a city street. Most of the way is relatively flat, with the exception of one short, steep section. The width of the trail fluctuates between a single lane gravel road and a narrow footpath.

Lake Youngs is near many other hiking opportunities such as the Spring Lake/Lake Desire network. A short connection on city streets also links up to the Soos Creek Trail (head west on SE 216^th Street to get there).
