Carkeek Park, Urban park in north Seattle, United States
The 216-acre woodland contains six miles of trails leading through forest, meadows, wetlands, and along creeks down to Puget Sound beach.
The park features Piper's Orchard on the eastern slope, where heritage fruit trees remain as a testament to early settlers in the region.
From October to December, visitors gather to observe chum salmon returning to Piper's Creek, one of Seattle's few salmon-bearing streams.
Access to the beach requires crossing a pedestrian bridge over active railroad tracks, with restroom facilities located near the Metro Pump Station.
During low tide, the beach exposes 20 additional acres of intertidal habitat, creating natural pools for marine life observation.
