Confirmed from Timberlake Park Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 5 mentions

“There’s also bark trail through the moss covered trees, just beautiful.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“A snowy scenery was beautifully set before us as we enjoyed a unexpectedly peaceful time at an unsuspecting place.”

Timberlake is a cool little park on Lake Sammamish! Didn't expect much when looking at in on a map but my wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the forest that surrounded us as we had a leisurely walk down to the lake.

★★★★★ — Jose , Jan 2022

A nice gravel-ish broad pathway straight downhill to water. (MEANS Going UPHILL constant too)Sign states dogs allowed to swim Sept 30 to may 1st if I remember right took pic of sign. There’s also bark trail through the moss covered trees, just beautiful.

★★★★☆ — Ann , Apr 2024

It was a 1 mile round trip. The walk was pretty good among the trees. There were a couple of private properties alongside. It was green and luscious.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
