Sound to Olympics Trail

Excited for this trails completion

January, 2025 by kim.c.spray

I can’t wait for this trail to be completed!

Water Flume Line Trail

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.

Chehalis Western Trail

E bikes?

October, 2024 by mlv.lb

I was on the Yelm - Tenino trail today when about a dozen riders on E-Bikes and E-scooters came down the Chehalis Western trail to where it meets the Yelm trail. Is there some exception for E-bikes? I thought they would be considered "motorized" vehicles. What were they doing on the trail? So outside of the irritation I felt about that, the trail itself was great! I'm just getting back to riding after knee replacement so a relatively level trail out in the country that I could do some easy distance on was perfect!

Foothills Trail (WA)

Bridge closure E of S. Prairie

September, 2024 by ron242

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, ...

Cushman Trail

So So

September, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

If I was a local I’m sure it’s great. As a tourist doing bicycle trails it was ok

SR 520 Trail

Across lake Washington bridge

Outstanding

Ship Canal Trail

Connects to the Burke Gilman.

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

It’s ok since it connects

SR 520 Trail

MicroSoft section

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

Took the trail that goes by all the Microsoft offices. The trail itself was noisy and not that great of shape. However we stumbled onto a bridge across SR520 into the Microsoft world. Absolutely amazing. Like a different world. Remove and isolated

Cedar River Trail

It’s ok

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

Starting at the south end is gravel. Not to far in it turns to nice asphalt. It travels close to the major road most of the way and it’s pretty noisy. Rode to the end and discovered the last mile is walking only. Rode it anyway no one said anything including the park service.

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.

I-90 Trail

Noisy

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

Started out under the bridge headed towards Seattle. Looked promising only to find it very disappointing when one is on the bridge looking out at the Bay. The traffic noise was deafening and the pathway poor. Trail was closed on the other side of the bridge. Turned around and went the other direction. Very poor shape. Not sure what all the 5 star reviews are? I’ll check it again in a couple years
