Trailhead parking & toilet on the corner of Milwaukee Ave & 6th St, right beside Smokey's BBQ. I entered Smokey's BBQ into my GPS for directions.
We went 2.75 miles west to the bridge at the confluence of the Yakima & Cle Elum rivers. As a 45 yr old fat girl (350lbs), I didn't think I would make it that far, but the trail is smooth, practically a sidewalk, with no elevation change, in a beautiful setting. We took plenty of water & rested by the bridge. So beautiful. My son's husky wanted to take a swim, but the rivers were running to high & swift for such shenanigans.
Then we headed back to Smokey's BBQ, making a 5.5 mile round trip. (Way to go Fat Girl!) Smokey's has great outdoor seating where we could dine with our dogs, play corn hole or play with wooden blocks (maybe a giant Jenga set, I didn't interrupt the children to inspect). Great food & setting.
