Mclane Creek Nature Trail

Reviewed By andrewbmusic - Tumwater, United States

Just follow the arrows around the trail.We started our normal route and ran into some arrows pointing straight at us so we turned around and went to a different entrance. Labeling what direction to hike at the entrance of the park would be beneficial. Lots of nice flat hiking area great for kids beautiful area.
