Day Hike - Clark Lake Park

Directions and other trip details will be send to all who sign up as soon as registration closes on Nov. 29

PLEASE DON'T REGISTER UNTIL YOU HAVE REVIEWED THE NOTES BELOW, YOU ARE SURE YOU ARE AVAILABLE AND THE MEETING TIME AND LOCATION WORK FOR YOU.

If you are hoping for a ride you will have a better chance if you set your profile to "Open" and provide carpool information such as the area you live in and  locations you can reach by transit to meet a driver.

 BY REGISTERING THIS LEADER CONSIDERS YOU MADE A COMMITMENT TO THE TRIP. It's only good form to cancel in the event of an injury, illness or an emergency. Even if there are people on the wait list it's often difficult to move them up close to the trip date. THANK YOU!

From the Wilson Playing Fields where we will park and have restroom facilities we will hike about 4 miles on trails that include lakeside views and on a clear day a distant view of Mt. Rainier.

Our route will include some paved trail and road shoulder to reach the Clark Lake Park where the trails are a mix of dirt, grass and loose rock. 

The park is situated on the Kent East Hill. This is a good option for winter trips when the days are shorter and snow can limit hiking in mountains. Sections of the trail will probably be a bit muddy at this time of year, but I think you will find it a fun short hike reveling one of Kent's hidden gems.

I propose to lead the trip at a moderate pack: approximately 2 mph average moving speed.

Full trip details will be send out as soon as registration closes on Nov. 29. I will provide copies of the City of Kent Parks and Facilities Guide that shows our route.
