Swan Creek Trail

Seldom-visited Swan Creek Park is one of Tacoma’s bestkept secrets. This undeveloped 322-acre stretch of land runs through a canyon with a wide creek bed at its floor and a virtual jungle of native trees, ferns, and wildflowers hugging the steep hillsides. Beside the creek, native vegetation, and wildlife, the main attraction in this park is the trail, making this shady, wooded canyon an urban hiker’s paradise.
