You will be a bit off trail, so make sure you have close-toed shoes and perhaps long pants. We just want you to get out and enjoy this wonderful place. You might have a mountain bike or two zoom past you as you enjoy this cache.
The Chamna Natural Preserve is a 276+ acre park with over 11 miles of muscle-powered trails suitable for jogging, walking, hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. Signage throughout the preserve will help you get around and help you to identify various flora and fauna of the area. The hikes in the preserve have been rated as one of the top 50 desert hikes in Washington by the Mountaineers club of Seattle. The winter time offers great cross country skiing and snow shoeing if we get enough snow. Make sure you bring water as drinking water is not available. The preserve closes at 11:00 PM and opens again at dawn. The Tapteal Greenway Association maintains the trails and has a working agreement with the city to build trails and provide amenities for the park. With the cooperation of the city the Tapteal Greenway Association removed over 16 tons of trash from this once abused area. We have also been involved in re-establishing native plants and have begun to eradicate noxious weeds and invasive plants in the area.
Tapteal Greenway encourages community involvement in the maintenance of the parks, and would like to welcome any visitors to bring trash bags and help clean litter along the trails.
