Took my son with his gravel bike while I took my mountain bike. We were hoping to go from the Sammamish River Trail all the way to W Snoqualmie Valley Rd NE in Duvall & then to McCormick Park. As the previous reviews state, this trail is extremely hilly & can be slippery - wide tires are practically a must. Here are my observations:
- The hill closest to 148th Av NE in Woodinville is the best part, in my opinion, to try to climb. I don't know what the actual grade is, but it feels like 55% - LOL. The other hills on the trail are impressive climbing, too.
- I used 700 x 45 tires, & I would still slip on occasion while climbing.
- Really nice neighborhoods with scenic homes & cool horse stables will be traversed.
- No water or restroom facilities.
- Where the trail ends at NE 133rd Street is DISGRACEFUL. There are no signs on the Tolt Pipeline Trail indicating that NE 133rd St is not an option to exit/enter the trail. When my son & I arrived at that point, we were flabbergasted that we could not proceed further (I know, I know: I should have read the reviews previously). We did not trespass & just u-turned it back up the hill. In addition, there is a dirt path on the left side at the same spot which we thought might be an option. Well, that is also prohibited as there are signs indicating, "No Trespassing." So, turn off at 232nd Av NE if you want to go further east.
I rode my commuter bike from Tukwila Sounder station parking lot to Stewart Rd SE in Pacific. It was flat. Not much shade along the way. I had to cross quite a few major roads. There are some homeless camps in Kent area, but no harm.
Rode the trail out and back on our tandem today. The trail is very well maintained, but there are a fair number of root bumps, some marked and others no, so keep your eyes peeled. Great to have some rollers here and there to make the ride a little different than most rail trails. Stopped in Arlington Velo for a quick check of my front disc brake and they were amazing. Got it taken care of quickly and a grabbed a few pair of their wool socks too. Lived Arlington Velo. The town is great is well with an ice cream store that you don’t want to miss. Great day overall.
The storms & floods last fall lifted two creek bridges off their foundations and moved them aside and for most bicycle riders are impassable. The first is about 10 miles from the Fruitland Ave trailhead, just after you go across 100 ft of very nasty large angular rocks (you'll know it when you cross them). The good news is that the detour around them is easy and pleasant.
Just go out onto the nearby road at the first one, access is obvious. This is the Lyman-Hamilton Rd, which has very little traffic on it. Follow that east until it morphs into Maple St. Turn left at the "Bike 10" left arrow sign in "downtown" Hamilton (about 2/3 mile from start of detour), onto Petit St. Go north about 0.2 mile to the "Bike 10" right arrow. Turn right. At that point you are on the old detour that has been there forever. Follow it east about 0.15 mile and look for an unmarked access path on your left, just past the small swamp/lake on each side of the road. This puts you back on the Cascade Trail.
Just after you start this detour the road makes a sharp right bend and crosses the Cascade Trail. You may be tempted to get back on it at that point. If you do, you will encounter the second bridge that was moved off its foundation and probably need to back track to the road anyway.
Given that the detour is so easy and pleasant, don't bother with these bridges. My guess it that it is very unlikely they will be fixed in the forseeable future, especially given that the first one was already partly off its foundation, req'd walking/hefting your bike anyway, and may probably been that way for many years.
Trail is becoming overgrown with blackberries and there still is the one serious washout. No sign of maintenance and even the Oso Memorial needs gardening help. That being said this is a nice ride and the Memorial is worth visiting. Good gravel and partly paved. Visit the general store in Oso which is 101 years old. Coffee, ice cream and nice folks.
Nice walking path for other times, but hit gravel basically right away after starting on my inlines !! i was assuming this app was telling the truth ¿¿ lots of gravel in the bothell office park area
This is an update to my review of last year. The ride is still great and the same as I described then except that last fall's washout mentioned by TrailLink is indeed very serious. I checked it out yesterday. I talked to two bikers that lifted their lightweight road bikes over the barrier blocks on the west end of the washout but there was no way I could do that with my heavier 60 lb eBike.
Besides that, and more important, walking your bike along what's left of the trail is very dangerous. It is narrow (1-2 ft) and one slip and you are in the river, fatally for your bike if not you as well. On top of all that I had to fight blackberry brambles all along the washout edge. I only did it because I did not realize that once you start you are commited -- there is no way to abort and turn your bike around.
I strongly recommend NOT starting at Trafton -- unless you detour out to the highway and back (there are 2 roads available to do that). Instead start at Miller Shingle trailhead (35.5 mile round trip to Darrington) or, as I did yesterday, at a small (half dozen vehicle) parking lot at the west end of the Cicero Bridge (40.8 mile round trip), where you can access the trail (the short paved section of it). Alternatively there is some parking along the highway just beyond the east end of the bridge but you have to ride back across the bridge to access the trail.
Discovered this comfortable place with great accommodations for two bike travelers. They offer a pullout sofa if you do not wish to share a bed. Indoor bike storage with a comfy bed and a hot shower! Distillery right next-door and two restaurants to fuel up in the morning to get back on the trail. Close to the panhandle of West Virginia. Their name is Harmony Trail Haven on Airbnb.
The Trailink description is somewhat misleading when discussing the 5 sections. To most people "the trail" is only the Puyallup to Enunclaw stretch, which is a continuous paved trail 22.8 miles long from the Puyallup TH to Vetern's Memorial Park in Enunclaw, after which you are on city streets or county roads to wherever. Add 0.5 mi back to the true start of the trail from the Puyallup TH to Shaw Rd, where it dumps you onto city streets, it is 23.3 miles total, true measured values with calibrated sensor.
The trail is fully open, no closures.
Highly recommend this beautiful and well kept trail. Beautiful to ride along the trees and over the 2 epic ohiopyle bridges.
Drove down from Anacortes to try the trail, but 13004 Meridian St which is designated on the map as a trailhead is an apartment complex and there is no parking available. Tried another location but gave up after we could not find any parking. Very disappointed.
