Marymoor Park Trail

This trail runs through the Marymoor off-leash dog park, making it an ideal choice for hikers who want to let their pups have a run while they enjoy the trail. If you don’t like dogs, skip this one. The route described adds mileage by heading down the East Lake Sammamish Trail, but know that dogs need to be on leash outside of the designated area.

Begin from the trailhead in the park. There are lots of interconnecting trails, so a downloaded GPS route is recommended if it’s your first time in the park. You’ll loop around the park facilities, which include a wetland, soccer fields, and gardens (dogs are not permitted in the gardens).

Stroll through the off-leash area, perhaps making a new friend or two. The trail extends onto the pathway by the road to add some distance, but if you’re just here to enjoy the park with your pal, you can linger awhile in the off-leash area instead. When you’re ready, loop back to the parking area.
