Carkeek Park is located in northwest Seattle, between 3rd Ave NW and Puget Sound. The park includes all of Piper’s Creek (sometimes written without the apostrophe) plus the adjoining side hills and some side streams, plus a beach area. Park trails can be accessed from several points, and there is an access road that leads to a parking area near the beach. Park entrance is free, and official hours are daily, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The hike described here includes the entire length of Piper’s Creek, plus a number of trails on the north and south ridges above the creek. For a shorter or easier hike, a glance at the trails map will suggest other possibilities.
Begin your hike at the Eddie McAbee Entrance on NW 100th Place, near 6th Ave NW. There’s a signboard at the trailhead with a park map and often, paper copies of a trail map available for the taking. Trail maps also can be downloaded.
