Camp Long Loop Trail Description
Camp Long is a beautiful wooded park next to the West Seattle Golf Course. The loop trail through this park is ideal for a short nature walk and is suitable for all ages. While the park is often very quiet, watch for runners passing by. There are interconnecting trails that can make staying on course a bit confusing, so we recommend downloading your GPS ahead of time.
Begin from the parking area. You can do this loop either way, but we’ll describe it counterclockwise to end off with a viewpoint extension. Hike to the southernmost trail, taking this as it weaves left and right along the bottom edge of the park. You’ll reach a Y junction where you’ll go left, walking up near the golf course. Continuing this direction gives access to the Rotary Viewpoint, an optional extension.
Turn around near the viewpoint trail to walk south back to the parking area, passing the ponds on your left.
