6. Fennel Creek Trail
The trailhead to the Fennel Creek Trail is located on a residential street in a suburban neighborhood in the southern part of Bonney Lake. Once you find the address, look for a paved road between two houses. If you see a white stormwater facility sign, you are in the right place. Drive in and park in the small parking lot. (Note: There are no restrooms.) The trail marked as a path to Victor Falls Elementary begins with a boardwalk then goes sharply uphill in a series of steep steps, making for a scenic, mile-long hike for all but the littlest kids. There is also another flat trail to the left of the boardwalk that offers peek-a-boo views of Fennel Creek and the stormwater pond.
Gnome hint: If you’re not up for hills, walking the stretch of boardwalk will likely reveal the gnome door!
Find it: 11110 185th Ave. E., Bonney Lake
