Fen Way Boardwalk is a short, nearly flat mountain biking route in Washington's Millersylvania Memorial State Park, managed by State Park and Recreation. The boardwalk is an out-and-back ride of about 0.7 miles, with the high point at 204 feet and the low at 202 feet, so the climb is almost nonexistent. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.19 miles in, with a grade of 6 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Olympia show July and August highs around 78°F with only about five wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the mid-40s and rain on roughly 20 days a month. The boardwalk sits close to several other trails. Fitness Trail and Old Growth Lane are both about 0.4 miles away, and the Perimeter Trail and Maple Hollow Loop are nearby for hikers.
