WHAT WE WILL SEE:
This guided walking tour will start at Hogan Park at Russell Rd. in Kent. We will walk down the Meeker Street pedestrian/cycle trail to the Green River Trail and continue south to the footbridge under SR 516. Crossing the river we will walk back north and west along the Frager Road pedestrian/cycle trail to the Old Fishing Hole to see the work done to improve flood control and salmon habitat. Next, we will see the Cedar and Salmon Totem Pole in the park. After a short break we will cross back over the Green River and take the trail along the east bank of the river beside River Bend Golf Course. Lastly, we will cross Russell Rd over a cross walk to return to Hogan Park. This will complete our loop.
