Fantastic new addition to this already awesome trail system. The bridge and river were beautiful! Im excited to see this trail be developed more.
After being closed for more than a year, that Spiketon Ditch bridge reopened this week between South Prairie and Buckley. It looks very sturdy and will hopefully survive for many years to come. Trail users can now start at the East Puyallup Trailhead and go all the way to the center of Enumclaw, a distance of more than 24 miles. Side note; you can see the salmon heading upstream to spawn in Carbon inRiver.
So I have been riding rail trails all over the country for the past number of years. Living in the northwest, the Chehalis western Trail was one of my favorites of all times. I just rode it the other day, for the first time in about five years. I am very sad to say that it was not a very fun ride. There are so many tree root bumps on the trail now. If you’re on a mountain bike or a big tire E bike, it may not be an issue, but if you’re on a road bike moving at any kind of speed, it just is not a lot of fun. Still a lot of beauty and the trail is otherwise amazing. But I’m not gonna be back on for a while.
We’re Riding bikes,It was a short trail ran through downtown. Had to stop for lights and traffic. And hard to the path.
Great trail. Looking forward to the continuation at 72nd ST E and Waller Rd E into South Hill.
It's a nice trail. I've walked it a few times. Areas to sit. Safe crosswalks. It's got a few greenbelt areas that are interesting to explore. Pretty safe. Great for a bike ride too, I have biked it. Had to review it. It's worthy of a hike.
I was on the Yelm - Tenino trail today when about a dozen riders on E-Bikes and E-scooters came down the Chehalis Western trail to where it meets the Yelm trail. Is there some exception for E-bikes? I thought they would be considered "motorized" vehicles. What were they doing on the trail? So outside of the irritation I felt about that, the trail itself was great! I'm just getting back to riding after knee replacement so a relatively level trail out in the country that I could do some easy distance on was perfect!
My trailhead is always the lot at 423 Washington Av SE, Orting; heading east to Buckley from there avoids the majority of urban and traffic.
But the Spiketon Ditch Bridge 9 miles on (1.6 mi past S. Prairie) is currently closed, as "structurally compromised." Trail is blocked. It's a turnaround.
I do truly love the 9 miles that are open, sections along the Carbon River, others lined with woods, through farmlands, in and out of the small town of South Prairie, views of Mt. Ranier, ...
If I was a local I’m sure it’s great. As a tourist doing bicycle trails it was ok
Nice paved trail. Of the 20 miles between Puyallup and Buckley, MOSTLY I SAW FOLIAGE, farms, some homes. I went there and back, thus, 40 miles. With bike I departed Puyallup parking at Monday noon, so very few people using it. 78 and blue skies, Mt. Rainier was present in my sights. Super easy as there is nothing much to call a hill. Some complain about road noise, and around Orting, the trail runs along the road and through this town, so sure, noise there. (I ride with some good earbuds in listening to podcasts, so noise nearby noise is just not a factor for me.) But before and after Orting noise or traffic scenes were not present. Of course, you can turn around to you head back to your car at any point, making this a 15 mile, 30, or such. This is a bike path to just ride easy and enjoy; no sweat.
