Great trail. Looking forward to the continuation at 72nd ST E and Waller Rd E into South Hill.
I had not been on this trail for over a decade. I was in the area so decided to try it again. This time I made a nice loop route connecting the Green River Trail with the Interurban trail to add some nice mileage. I took the trail on 4/11/25 on a Friday morning from the Starfire Sports Complex. There was very low traffic on the trail and I enjoyed meandering along the river with it's curves. This is a peaceful journey through a high metropolitan area. It's a great break from the road traffic. At every crossing of a major street there are signals to use. I highly recommend trying out this trail and using connections for a decent bike route.
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.
I can’t wait for this trail to be completed!
One of the things that stands out to me is how well people take care of this trail. After a storm, I often find that the trail is cleared, branches (big and small) are removed, and other obstacles are taken care of. I often see signs of saws or chainsaws to deal with larger trees or branches that have blocked the road. Good job, volunteers and clean-up crews!
I road from Rasar State park towards Sedro Woolley. One obstacle was a bridge that I had to walk across because the approach to this small trestle was a big step on both sides. It almost looks like the bridge has moved. I got to Lyman and thought I would get into SW by lunch time. A few miles east of town, I ran into some mud and water. I walked and the encounter running water and it got up to my ankles. It looked worse ahead so I doubled back to Lyman for lunch at the tavern that near the trail. Nice place too back the trail was got bad so I didn’t finish it. Hope they resolve this bad section because it is a nice trail and there isn’t any option except for Hwy 20.
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, ...
Scenic and the natural restoration is very well done, especially the interpretive signs and benches. Signage along the parkway to trailheads was lacking as were trail/milage markers along the way as was drinking water. If you go solo, take the time to investigate and plan a route.
Much of the asphalt is severely buckled in the miles heading toward Bothell. So many that you cannot avoid or bike around big sections of long and high ridges and cracks. The bumps cover far more area than smooth pavement. There is also a stretch of very large rock gravel on a narrow, elevated path near where the path intersects with 405.
If I was a local I’m sure it’s great. As a tourist doing bicycle trails it was ok
