Welcome to Des Moines Creek Parks: Trail Rules, Park Rules, and Ecological Enhancements Map

Des Moines Creek Parks, located near Sea-Tac Airport in the cities of SeaTac and Des Moines, Washington, offers a multi-use trail system with a 15 MPH speed limit, helmet requirements for cyclists, and a dawn-to-dusk schedule. The park prohibits alcohol, firearms, camping, fires, and motorized vehicles, while requiring pets to remain on leash. A regional partnership between the Cities of SeaTac and Des Moines, Port of Seattle, King County, and the Washington State Department of Transportation has led to ecological restoration efforts along Des Moines Creek, including stormwater detention facilities, high-flow bypass pipes, fish passage improvements, and native plant restoration to support salmon and other wildlife.
