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
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!!!
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.
Part of this beautiful trail is closed for salmon restoration. You can still access most of the trail by going to the parking lot and trailhead with port-a potty at 356st off of state highway 202, Fall City Road. Head past the porta potty head basically north.
Nice wide smooth trail. Lots of different views as one goes along.
I’ve been on a lot of trails. This one rates a B. The asphalt is excellent and wide until one enters the Seattle district. Then Boom it suddenly turns into a C trail when I’m feeling generous. It’s knarly and narrow with tree roots. Barely wide enough for 2 people to pass. Get it together Seattle. Lots of people come here for the trails and we spend money. Not that Seattle seems to care about that.
