Description
From the west end of the Lake Padden Loop follow this wide trail as it travels along Padden Creek. Cross the bridge and continue up through the dark trees. Before it reaches the intersection with the Powerline Trail the grade steeps but the tread remains fairly smooth. On the other side of the clearing the trail turns to the south to eventually end at the Padden Southeast Trail.
