Description
The Soos Creek Trail is a great urban trail in Kent that has many views of Mount Rainier and access to Lake Meridian. There are a couple of playgrounds along the way that are great for children located at Lake Meridian Park (a little off the trail) and Soos Creek Park at 208th. The trail is paved for its duration, which makes this an easy place to stretch your legs without worrying about trip hazards. The trail is mostly flat, though there are some slightly rolling sections. The trail follows by Soos Creek, and if you're lucky you'll be able to catch the babble of the water as it rolls by.
