Our favorite is Frog Holler, which is only about a 5 or so minute drive away: https://vashonlandtrust.org/portfolio-item/frog-holler-forest-2/
Also,, I’ve done Shinglemill Creek and it is very nice. It does have one very steep part,though, so keep that in mind if you have any

Grocery Shopping
We recommend grocery shopping off-island when you can. Hours for all establishments on Vashon can be unpredictable, and restaurants can close for the day with no notice. For grocery shopping on the island, Vashon Thriftway is a great store: https://www.vashonthriftway.com/
