New Gnome Trail

OMG, stumbled upon this adorable trail while out showing houses in Maple Valley and decided to give it a go. So glad I did! It's a super fun and easy walk, winding through a lovely trail dotted with little gnomes everywhere. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a delightful and whimsical outdoor adventure. Definitely a must-visit!

Pleasant walk around the loop. Happy to have found a walking area for a toddler and enjoyed it throughly. Every Gnome has a story and it’s wonderful to see so many collections from different times.

Super fun for young kids. And there are plenty of parkings.

This trail was fun and easy. It was a beautiful day for a short and fun walk. It’s good for little kids or anyone for a fun nature walk. Parking is plentiful and you really cannot get lost as each trailhead will end someplace within the parking lot. Along the trail there are fun gnomes to look for -they are placed every where.

Probably a better trail in the summer time. The leaves were a little slippery on
The hill but a very interesting hike just make sure to take picture of the map at the trail head.

This place is awesome for kids friendly my 3 year old son like it, does have parking spot I'll say you probably feet between 40-80 cars here a lot of 🅿. They have disconnect GFCI outlets I didn't check if they work that you can charge your phone or plug something to it, they have restrooms here and water to wash hand, no soap when I was there, it a lot of Gnome everywhere and i saw some smash probably someone with no brain did that 😃😃🤣🤣 beautiful trees everywhere, found the biggest tree at the park it was pretty awesome, lools clean everywhere. Love the place definitely come back him for my kids!! For stroller you can bring but for only the wide trails but there's some tight and steep trails.

Absolutely amazing place for kids and adults. So many little paths to take, with gnomes and figurines to discover everywhere you look. Nice big parking lot with lots of parking. We went on a nice rainy evening so we were lucky to have the entire place to ourselves. Great for kids, mostly entirely flat ground. This place is magical!

Such a fun time! Up in the trees, under some branches, and around each corner, a gnome tucked here and there! Easy walk with small kids, we brought a stroller and had to lift over a couple spots but easily. The kids loved it.

Amazing fun w my toddler and self! Very nice, easy going trail walk. Lots of parking w onsite restroom and sanitizing stations.
Lots of paths to choose and your choice how long of a hike you want to take.
Highly recommend.

Absolutely fabulous! There isn't a lot of gnomes on the trail, until you get to the top, and then they are everywhere. If you think you missed them, keep going. You will find them. Signs for all the trails are higher up in the trees.

There are a lot of fun for my daughter (2.5 years old). We walked around 1.5 hours and she did not ask me to hold her, so I guess the trail is really interesting enough for her.

Good hike for small kids. There are hundreds of gnomes but you have to search for them. You can do different loops and not far away is the lake Sawer. We like each spring to go see gnomes and then walk to the park from lake Sawer and see spring flowers. You can bike or have a stroller. Big parking spot and free.

Cute quirky trail with gnomes scattered throughout. Brought my three year old and she had a lot of fun! The trail is relatively flat with trees and greenery surrounding.

We LOVED this trail. No reason for the trail to get negative reviews because of the smashed gnomes. It’s so unfortunate and very sad — but the trails are still GREAT and it’s a beautiful place. The trailhead labeled (New Gnome Trail) has easy parking access.

I’ll be organizing a group clean up day of the broken gnomes if anyone wants join.

UPDATED: 6/11 Clean up date CANCELLED due to muddy and rainy conditions. Will update when I have a new date!

I love the gnome trail. It is a great trail system that is manageable with little kids. You can make it long or shorter distance with all the different trail options. You really won't get truly lost since it is between a housing development, business area, connections to the cedar river trail as well. It is a little slice of wilderness!

However fair warning there has been break ins in the parking lot so don't leave anything of value within view. Sometimes cops are watching the parking lot but not all the time.

Lots of gnomes everywhere you look. Looking for the gnomes does take your eyes off the wonderfull forest though. Great trails, mostly level walk throughout.

Really fun for kids nad adults. A lot of gnomes hidden. Trail is not so long but it takes a lot of time ;) Do not recommend stroller, baby carrier is perfect

We love this trail! Super easy walk for the kids and we have been able to catch sighting of deers. Beautiful trail and fun for the kids!

This trail is adorable, it’s very easy to navigate and it’s nice and short as well. There are countless gnomes and cute arrangements to be found and makes for a perfect short afternoon hike. There is plenty of shade from trees too so it is great for a sunny day.

It was so fun trying to find the gnomes in the trail. We have a 10 and a 2 year old and had a blast.
