Description:
The North Creek Trail links the cities of Bothell, Mill Creek and Everett, as well as the communities in between. The trail also provides access to the Sammamish River Trail. The trail follows a wooded corridor with some gentle hills interspersed with wetlands-great for bird-watching. As of autumn 2011 the trail is broken into two disjointed segments.

The northern segment in Mill Creek runs for 2.5 miles between McCollum Pioneer Park off Route 96 and 164th St. SE. The Bothell segment runs for nearly 5 miles from north of Bothell at 214th St. SE south to the Sammamish River Trail just south of Route 522.

Another segment is in the works that will join the short distance between 208th Street SE and Bothell Everett Highway/SR 527 at 214th Street. In the meantime, to join the two segments cyclists must use on-street bike lanes on Bothell Everett Highway/SR-527. Note, these lanes in both directions are poorly marked (as of April 2011) and the segment of the highway between 214th St SE and 164th St SE has heavy traffic.

North Creek Trail
By citemgr in May, 2011
The newest portion of the trail from Canyon Park to 228th is very smooth paving. There are nice views of waterfowl ponds and the occasional deer. From 228th to Beardsley it's mostly hard packed gravel along the top of a dike. Both sides of the creek are diked with gravel paths and two bridge crossings. The north bridge was removed last year. Watch out for bunnies that dart across the paths frequently.

It's a short and easy trail but gets good marks for scenery and greenery in the urban environment.
