Plan with
Confidence
Deer hunting in the main portion of Island Center Forest is permitted for a short period, typically in the second half of October. During this time, the trails are closed to non-hunters. Signs will be placed at trailheads, but if visiting during this period, it's a good idea to check King County's website at http://www.kingcounty.gov/services/parks-recreation/parks/trails/backcountry-trails/island-center-forest.aspx. The Natural and Gateway Areas, east of Landtrust Trail, remain open.
Path Type
Point to Point
Techmo begins at a signed three-way intersection with Middle Fork and North Trail. The path is a spacious singletrack, occasionally widening to double, with dispersed obstacles typical to Vashon Island: roots and smooth stones. This is an easy route, and for the most part is very well maintained.
As Techmo proceeds, it alternates between thick fir and cedar filled woods and spread-out areas of newer growth. There's a lot of variety here, and the sense of solitude is great.
Techmo ends at the dirt road extension of !115th Avenue. Signs point the way to 115th Bypass fifty feet ahead, and the "trail" segment of 115th, which leads to the Mukai Trailhead.
