East Lake Sammamish Trail

Scenic and quality trail

September, 2024 by jwubbie

Scenic and the natural restoration is very well done, especially the interpretive signs and benches. Signage along the parkway to trailheads was lacking as were trail/milage markers along the way as was drinking water. If you go solo, take the time to investigate and plan a route.

North Creek Trail

not for wheels

September, 2024 by aliciashankland_tl

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.

Snoqualmie Valley Trail

Part of this trail is closed so don’t start at Nick Loutus Park

August, 2024 by npthomson_tl

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.

Burke-Gilman Trail

Nice

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

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.
