Welcome to Renton’s Springbrook Creek Trail. This newly finished elevated path takes you through a wetland restoration project that the Department of Transportation completed in June of 2009 as part of the ongoing I-405 widening project. The Springbrook Creek Wetland & Habitat Mitigation Bank Project enhances 110 acres of wetlands and buffer, restore and create a larger connected 20 acres of wetland; totaling approximately 130 acres of wetlands. Thousands of native plants were planted over the entire project site; including black cottonwood, pacific willow, sitka spruce, western red cedar, snowberry, douglas-fir and big-leaf maple. These trees, shrubs and plants will attract and create habitat for many different species of wildlife. WSDOT crews have completed building an interpretive boardwalk trail through a portion of the site that will provide opportunities to educate the public on the benefits of wetlands and the habitat they support.
To find this cache, theres no need to go wading or bushwhacking. This should be a fairly easy find. However, to make this a little tougher, the cache container will not be posted nor will there be any hints. Also note that this trail is part of the City of Renton. The city has made it clear that this trail closes at dusk. Therefore, this is NOT a night time cache! Parking available across the street.
Enjoy!
