Parked at the grocery store in Arlington and started there. I was on a fat tire ebike. trail work is lightly going on between the Arlington head and the first trestle north about 4 miles out. the first 2 or so miles was very loose gravel, glad I had 4" tires! Some branches and ruts due to the work in progress. After the first trestle it was real good to Darington. Trial is everything from single track gravel to paved, the last mile or so is bumpy into Darington but very passable the whole way. a tree over the trail about half way to Darington, step over if you are on foot, boost the bike over for me, real easy. One small bridge out by Darington is closed but I found it quite passable, its maybe 20 feet long with an eco block painted orange at each end. I'm certain that if you wanted to there are minor roads to get around it in the area. Awesome trail, sights abound! The OSO Memorial is really well done, lost a buddy in that one. Hardly used on a Tuesday afternoon, real pleasant for a solo, solitude ride. Took some pictures along the way here and there no major stops and it took me about 3.5 hours to round trip it. I was on an Aventon Adventure 2 and it took me 2 batteries to ride out and back. I was riding pretty conservatively in the 2 bottom steps of peddle assist and had 40% left on my return. (not gonna lie to ya, I used the throttle the last mile over the loose gravel! 60 miles was a good trip!)
Agree with Hodge Podge as to the structure of the trail. Goes off old rail line on numerous occasions, has numerous road crossings and is very narrow is some areas. A large portion of all sections travels through private property with barking dogs and junk all over the place. Too bad trail could not have followed original rail line
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.
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.
I can’t wait for this trail to be completed!
It's a nice trail. I've walked it a few times. Areas to sit. Safe crosswalks. It's got a few greenbelt areas that are interesting to explore. Pretty safe. Great for a bike ride too, I have biked it. Had to review it. It's worthy of a hike.
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!
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, ...
