BPA, West Campus trails & Panther Lake Park

Here is a web address for a map of the BPA trail in Federal Way, Washington

While walking on The BPA trail in Federal Way I saw this sign pointing to a view point, so I had to investigate.






The trees are growing up and almost blocking the view of the most prominent feature in Western Washington, Mt Rainer. On a clear day in Western Washington you can see Mt Rainer from most anywhere.

Another Park I discovered in Federal is Panther Lake Park, this park is close The King County Aquatic Center.

There are no signs, I noticed something while walking along the trail, and had to check it out

and I discovered this


Saw a trail and started walking it




the trail came out at another clearing and this duck must have thought I was going to feed it.


when I did not it swam away

This is the view from that clearing



The trail comes out by a baseball field

Found another dragon fly that was willing to be photographed


Another view of the lake


The West Campus Trail links up with the BPA Trail





The trail ends at the intersection of First Avenue S and 320th st, the most traveled street in Federal Way

So between the BPA trail, West Campus trail, Panther Lake Park, and the West Hylebos Wetlands park, there are many places to go walking in Federal Way
