Enjoyed riding this trail which connects to the Burke Gilman. We got in 26 miles starting at the park and transitioning to the Burke. Lots of people on a Sunday mid morning. Only a few hammer heads not announcing “passing” and whipped by me and pedestrians with children. You have to be alert for sure! Trail was marked and in great shape. Nice views!
A nice ride. The hub is a good place to start.
We walked from Snoqualmie Falls over to this trail and thought we’d get off the road, but a long strength of it was just walking an a paved road, until getting to the Reinig Bridge. From there on it’s flat and mostly shaded…but also just straight ahead through a golf course. We left the trail at North Bend
We took electric scooters and did 16miles of this trail was so beautiful seen 6 deer 5 turkeys will glad go back and explore more
Very nice trail, we started in Maple Valley and it was about 6 miles of gravel, not idea on our road tires but we made do and were able to hit the pavement for our remaining miles. Overall fun trail and family friendly, just watch out for those Ebikes
This trail is ok, but it is horribly marked. That is to say, it really is hardly marked at all and as it makes numerous forks and turns where it joins major traffic centers, this lack of signage is a problem. thats if you can even find the northern trailhead. it took me 3 different google map guided excursions to finally find it, and two of those it seemed obvious that Google was trying to kill me. Still, its a quiet, windy path that is in pretty good condition and the bits of urban heritage farms that are tucked away in little alcoves among urban centers was a pleasanr surprise. but if you a tuallt wanna get somewhere, the Interirnan South us a far superior trail.
Spring riding can be a bit tricky, some of the trail is under water and waterproof shoes are very beneficial.
But other then that it is a beautiful trail and looking forward on riding it again.
We did not know that this trail was there and were in concrete. We ping the bird view diner but did not want to take the main road on our bikes. To our pleasant surprise we found this trail. It is a well maintained gravel path. Only issue we hit was a bit where it had washed out but there were planks just off the trail for us to cross on our bikes. Planning to do the full length in the future.
You can't walk the maple road part of the trail, you will be too close to traffic on the bridge. You should only go on a bike for this part.
The trail is closed from a wash out starting in Arlington. We parked in the first designated parking area 11 miles East of Arlington. We headed West towards Arlington to see where it was closed and why. Shortly after starting out we came to an intersection of a county road just before the first highway crossing. We were greeted by a BIG white-possibly Pyrenees Dog which came after us barking, growling and snapping at our legs. The rest of our ride way uneventful but we had to pass the area with the dog to get back to our car. We luckily have electric bikes and when we came back to the area the dog was standing in the middle of the trail. We used our power assist to speed past the dog which came after us but couldn't keep up.
This is a very nice trail. Be aware of a few things: Steel connector plates at fairly regular intervals make a jarring bump. On very nice days, the trail can be crowded and you have to keep speed down. The trail is loud, right next to traffic lanes with a “Jersey barrier” separating bikes from cars. Strong cross winds can make this trip unpleasant during bad weather. And although the bridge seems very flat from a car, there are actually modest climbs at each end. The trail connects nicely to the Lake Washington trail, but the Montlake Bridge crossing to UW and the Burke-Gilman trail is tight. The connection toward Lake Union is difficult to locate and can be unusable.
