We rode the GAP from Cedar Creek Park to the Boston trailhead at the base of the Historic Boston Bridge and back. About 36 miles round trip. What a great ride. Smooth trail with lots of benches and several picnic areas and toilet facilities. Well maintained. Passed through several little communities along the trail. No major highways and very few little roads to cross making it very safe. Got a delicious huge “medium” size ice cream cone at the “Big Twist” in Blythedale, right off the trail. Highly recommend this ride!
We rode 13 miles of the east end, starting in Chehalis. Paved section is in pretty good shape. Transitions onto and off of bridges are pretty rough but doable. Gravel sections that we did were in great shape and an easy ride. Really enjoyed this trail. If you come in August bring a container for black berries!
As of August 2026, it is still a great trail. It is my most go-to trail. Lots of vegetation all along the way.
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.
This used to be a nice trail especially the last 5 miles or so between Maple Valley and the end near Landsburg. However, the floods last fall did a serious washout about half way along that stretch. King County officially closed the trail for a stretch centered on that point but judging from a picture on the WTA website about 3 weeks ago and when I did the trail yesterday, the actual trail has gone from about 1/4 totally gone to about 3/4 totally gone now! I and others were still able to walk our bikes (nervously) past it, but the trail is many tens of feet above the river avd the eroded bank is very high and steep and likely to keep eroding. This is a very serious washout and will require serious and expensive engineering to fix, which given the current state of gov't funding is unlikely to happen soon, if ever. You can get past it now but I would not attempt it during or after signifiicant rain. I predict it will become totally impassable this fall, if not sooner.
The County website in fact now indicates the *studies* alone are likely to not be completed for at least a year. Many agencies are involved: the County, the Corps, Fish & Wildlife and the Muckleshoots.
At the other end of the trail, in Renton, be warned. The official end is Cedar River Trail Park near Boeing. Contrary to Trailink and Google Maps bicycles are not allowed on the trails inside the park. You need to use the road. I was assalted yesterday by a vigilante pedestrian, who shoved me, an elderly gentleman of 83, off my bike and broke my mirror in the process.
In addition to all that, the City of Renton is not bike-friendly in general. In addition to the 10 mph limit, mentioned here on TrailLink, the official trail route thru the City is unmarked and very convoluted. You are highly likely to get lost and run into dead ends. I highly recommend starting at Riverview Park or Ron Regis Park instead.
Fantastic new addition to this already awesome trail system. The bridge and river were beautiful! Im excited to see this trail be developed more.
My wife and I took this trail heading southbound from Burien. We had a wonderful time winding through Burien and the SeaTac area. Once the trail reaches 200th you start to following the Des Moines Creek and you end up popping out at the parking lot of the Des Moines Marina. I highly recommend you give it a try.
After being closed for more than a year, that Spiketon Ditch bridge reopened this week between South Prairie and Buckley. It looks very sturdy and will hopefully survive for many years to come. Trail users can now start at the East Puyallup Trailhead and go all the way to the center of Enumclaw, a distance of more than 24 miles. Side note; you can see the salmon heading upstream to spawn in Carbon inRiver.
