Not very smooth for smaller wheels, but great for walking and biking
Biked Interurban North from Greenwood Seattle to Lynnwood, July 25, 2020, and the signage is MUCH better than last time. Many useful signs pointing to nearby points of interest, and didn't lose track of the trail this time.
Such long well paved trails! We love these wide long trails. Nice over passes and few places you have to cross the roads. It was Saturday and plenty of others using the trail.
Great trail. A little construction and a 1/2 mi detour but not bad. Lots of wildflowers and walkers. Had to cross the road a couple of times.
The path runs by river and farms for some time and is beautiful. Nice ice cream stop in Orting.
Incredible that I’ve been speeding on the highways and bridges just above this trail For decades and never knew they were there! I finally got to explore this Trail and loved it. So many bridges!
As a 72 yr old person, I try to walk 4 or 5 days a week. When the weather is nice part of my walk is on the interurban trail through Pacific. Over the last couple of years, the portion between Ellingson Rd and 3rd Ave NE is falling apart. I have to be very careful and not step in a hole and fall.The southern part past 3rd is being extended and is very nice. I just wish someone could check out the before mentioned section. Also, it must be about time to repaint the circles around the holes. The paint is almost worn off.
It starts in a calm stand of conifers with a fairly steep 100 ft climb but is otherwise flat and smooth. The condition of the trail surface is firm enough that it can be safely ridden with a road bike (which I generally do). The crossings with major roads are through short tunnels. The sections through the neighborhoods along Lake Wilderness is quiet and the section through the park is very peaceful and provides access to a disc golf course.
Complete Flat Ground for all Longboards but it is pretty short of a ride if you attend to push yourself to the limit, lots of food and much more!
Found Garmin Astro 220 GPS dog tracker for a dog named BOOMER. Matt at Renton Honda.
Had a great time with my husband and 2 daughters (ages 9 and 11). The trail was a bit muddy and pretty narrow in some spots but we saw a beaver! Definately the highlight of the trip. We stopped and had lunch on the creek right before the bridge. Great day for some ametuer hikers. I wouldn't say this is for all ages though.
