This used to be a nice trail especially the last 5 miles or so between Maple Valley and the end near Landsburg. However, the floods last fall did a serious washout about half way along that stretch. King County officially closed the trail for a stretch centered on that point but judging from a picture on the WTA website about 3 weeks ago and when I did the trail yesterday, the actual trail has gone from about 1/4 totally gone to about 3/4 totally gone now! I and others were still able to walk our bikes (nervously) past it, but the trail is many tens of feet above the river avd the eroded bank is very high and steep and likely to keep eroding. This is a very serious washout and will require serious and expensive engineering to fix, which given the current state of gov't funding is unlikely to happen soon, if ever. You can get past it now but I would not attempt it during or after signifiicant rain. I predict it will become totally impassable this fall, if not sooner.
The County website in fact now indicates the *studies* alone are likely to not be completed for at least a year. Many agencies are involved: the County, the Corps, Fish & Wildlife and the Muckleshoots.
At the other end of the trail, in Renton, be warned. The official end is Cedar River Trail Park near Boeing. Contrary to Trailink and Google Maps bicycles are not allowed on the trails inside the park. You need to use the road. I was assalted yesterday by a vigilante pedestrian, who shoved me, an elderly gentleman of 83, off my bike and broke my mirror in the process.
In addition to all that, the City of Renton is not bike-friendly in general. In addition to the 10 mph limit, mentioned here on TrailLink, the official trail route thru the City is unmarked and very convoluted. You are highly likely to get lost and run into dead ends. I highly recommend starting at Riverview Park or Ron Regis Park instead.
Paved, rather short, but passes thru some niceky preserved wetlands. Bonus: it also goes past Jakob Two Trees, a large troll artwork done by a Danish artist.
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.
Was nice and well taken care of. Surface was great! With lots of construction going on around it, was a bit hidden by temporary fences. Was nice to use for the short bit we did, wish it would have shown up better as a connector from the east lake Sammamish trail, missed it at first.
Wife and I rode this and it is paved w/good surface, well kept, clean, good sight lines, benches and trash cans. Protected by fences. Only downsides I noticed was a lot of private driveways that cross over and lots of people’s houses right at trail edge which can be a bit much. Some nice views of the lake, lots of trees. Fun to go from Issaquah to Redmond! Overall we were impressed and lots to offer.
We’re Riding bikes,It was a short trail ran through downtown. Had to stop for lights and traffic. And hard to the path.
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!
I turned around early in fear of getting lost! I had to stop a few times to figure out where I was so eventually I just navigated back to my car. The spots I rode were great though!
A fun walk through an urban Beacon Hill neighborhood safely winding through the center of a wide median. Trees provide scattered shade and plenty of benches to tie that loose shoestring. No sign of any bikers, but passed a few friendly faces including a Mom with a stroller, grandmother and grandson, and an elderly walker listening to audible music on his phone. Plenty of street parking near Ferdinand street. We found a shady quiet spot to park. You can walk 30 minutes and use the restroom at the community center if needed.
Great trail. Looking forward to the continuation at 72nd ST E and Waller Rd E into South Hill.
