Got a mailer about the grand opening of Cedar Creek Park only a 5 minute bike ride from home.
At 7:40am on a Saturday morning the gates are locked apparently...

The poster says it opened last weekend

After circumventing the gate, it's a downhill start

Riding the 'main' trail and looking back at the LNG pipeline fenced area I passed. This area is still outside the park boundary, perhaps explaining the locked gates

Looks pretty flat so far, although it really requires a mountain bike, not a cross bike (I have 37-622 tires, approx. 1.4" wide)

Turning off the main trail into denser forest

I'm guessing this is the actual park boundary

Wandered on past a few trails thinking I really should have a trail map, so I turned around for today

Back on the main trail, I went further, but ran into 'wetlands'

Almost back to original entrance

A side loop up to adjecent residential area. Signs of motorized dirt bike tracks

Stitching the previous 2 together

Back again Sunday, this time with map

Definitely on the "loop trail" though not marked clearly on map

Made it to the SE252nd MV entrance

Room for a few vehicles here

Took the 'left' loop here. A mistake. Should have went back the way I came...

Steeper in spots. Had to walk the bike downhill several places

CCP Park Map. Entered Sat. at 'A', turned at 'B', crossed the barrier at 'C',thought I needed a map at 'D' and turned back, and then encounter the 'wetlands' at 'E'. Note the extension is not on the trail map. Went home printed off the map and came back Sunday. Did the same ABCD, but continued on the loop trail 'F' until I got to the SE252nd MV entrance, and unintentionally did the tougher 'H' loop on the return. Trail maps don't seem to have all the trails, especially those that extend beyond the park boundary

Google shows more 'roads' than the trail map. Still not 100% sure of the trails I took

Cedar Creek Park is surrounded by Covington and Maple Valley
