Description

Added by Kendyl Barney

Conveniently located in the Greenwood area of north Seattle, Carkeek Park is the perfect spot to kick back with friends, go for a brisk walk or run, or take some stunning pictures of ocean and Olympic mountains!

Featuring a beautiful beach with views of the Olympics, a large lawn area for picnics or playing pass, and a bridge to watch the train pass underneath you, Carkeek is definitely one of Seattle's finest gems. The pictures don't do it justice. You have the option to drive and park directly at the beach, or begin at the trailhead and walk to the beach through the woods. The trail is a nice, easy stroll but can be quite populated on a nice day.
