Social Trails
A 'Social' trail is when people deviate from a constructed path making a short cut to another place. The William Way Trail began as a social trail directly through the Kulshan Creek Environmental Restoration and Protection Area. In 2015, it was decided to convert this social trail into a permitted trail connecting to the main Kulshan Trail. The William Way Trail continues directly East. The southern path connects to the paved Kulshan Trail. The Mount Vernon Parks Department, and City Work Program constructed this trail through the conversation area in an attempt to minimize the damage and impact on this protected area. The Kulshan Creek runs along the trail on the north side.
During the day it is not unusual to spot water fowl, deer and rabbits in this area. It is also home to a Heron and a Beaver. Mr. Beaver has dammed the creek a few times causing some minor low flooding. You'll notice numerous plantings housed in light blue collars. Various species of trees have been planted throughout this area by the Washington Conservation Corps.
This is a night cache and you will need a flashlight. There is room for a couple of vehicles to park at the trail head. If there are vehicles there, you'll need to park a bit farther east where the roadway is a bit wider providing room for shoulder parking.
