Discovered this comfortable place with great accommodations for two bike travelers. They offer a pullout sofa if you do not wish to share a bed. Indoor bike storage with a comfy bed and a hot shower! Distillery right next-door and two restaurants to fuel up in the morning to get back on the trail. Close to the panhandle of West Virginia. Their name is Harmony Trail Haven on Airbnb.
Rode from Sherman park to Naches in late May 2026. Google map is incorrect, it shows paved trail south of Sherman Park while it is actually rough gravel. Also it shows trail ends in Brace while actually it goes all the way to Naches. The part closer to Naches have better pavement, one in Yakima is pretty cracked. The trail slowly climbs toward Naches, maybe 1% grade. I rode in the morning, against pretty strong wind. Ride back was almost no effort though. In overall, good ride.
Highly recommend this beautiful and well kept trail. Beautiful to ride along the trees and over the 2 epic ohiopyle bridges.
We had the best day on the trail. Nice trail ride for anyone. Recommend getting the shuttle back to Silver Fir for convenience! Made for a great day! Pletny of places to stop and tons to see along the way.
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.
What a nice trail! Clean, and well maintained. One bridge under construction but able to use detour to still do entire loop. South Bridge the only area we encountered a homeless group. Northern part of trail to Fishers Park mostly in the open, no shade. 90 degrees with wind and it was bearable. Through town on East side of river some shade. West side of river through parks and marketplace, more people and speed limit of 10. Very enjoyable ride would definitely do it again!
Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.
Good paved bicycle path that is separated from 4 lane road by a strip of grass. It goes uphill from in the north direction so you can get a good leg burn on the way up and then cruise downhill afterwards. Scenery is a mix of vegetation, homes , and businesses that are typical of this area.
We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!
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, ...
Part of this beautiful trail is closed for salmon restoration. You can still access most of the trail by going to the parking lot and trailhead with port-a potty at 356st off of state highway 202, Fall City Road. Head past the porta potty head basically north.
