Volunteers for Outdoor Washington (VOW) have been hard at work since October 2013 constructing the McKinnon Creek Pedestrian Trail in Lake Forest Park. The trail is taking shape thanks to the hard work of dedicated volunteers from Lake Forest Park, surrounding communities and environmental science students at the University of Washington. 

Over 500 hours of volunteer time were invested into the trail project last year. The trail is located about a half a mile from City Hall, at the end of NE 184th off of Ballinger Way NE. It will provide a convenient and safe connection from the circle drive/horizon view area of the city to the Town Center. The trail follows McKinnon Creek, a tributary to Lyon Creek, which flows into Lake Washington.

Those interested in volunteering to help construct the pedestrian trail may do so by signing up on VOW’s website.

Questions regarding volunteer work parties can be directed to the Lake Forest Park City Hall 206-368-5440.
