Rode the trail on June 15, 2025. Several spots need to be patched along rough spots from tree roots. Most rough spots and cracks are well marked but without regular maintenance this trail will keep getting worse. Ir should go without saying but DO NOT stop in the middle of the trail. Step or ride to the edge to make room for traffic. During my ride a group of adults and children literally blocked the whole trail and were clueless to anyone else on the trail. Be RESPECTFUL of others. There are too many other well maintained trails in the area to consider this trail an option.
A fun walk through an urban Beacon Hill neighborhood safely winding through the center of a wide median. Trees provide scattered shade and plenty of benches to tie that loose shoestring. No sign of any bikers, but passed a few friendly faces including a Mom with a stroller, grandmother and grandson, and an elderly walker listening to audible music on his phone. Plenty of street parking near Ferdinand street. We found a shady quiet spot to park. You can walk 30 minutes and use the restroom at the community center if needed.
I rode all of the trail, counterclockwise. The surface in places is a bit rough, with sealed cracks. Overall, not bad at all. River crossings over the bridges are good, too. Flat course and wide enough for 2 or 3 across. 5/4/2025
The path is all paved if when your traveling from north to south stay on trail to right. Some parts of the old trail are on left side and have been removed. That old trail tends to be a walking trail now. Many parts of this town have paved trails right beside roads with bike lanes. One place in town has bike path, then a sidewalk, then a marked area on road for bikes. So we’re abundant with biking here but hardly anyone uses them besides the river trails.
Great trail. Looking forward to the continuation at 72nd ST E and Waller Rd E into South Hill.
I had not been on this trail for over a decade. I was in the area so decided to try it again. This time I made a nice loop route connecting the Green River Trail with the Interurban trail to add some nice mileage. I took the trail on 4/11/25 on a Friday morning from the Starfire Sports Complex. There was very low traffic on the trail and I enjoyed meandering along the river with it's curves. This is a peaceful journey through a high metropolitan area. It's a great break from the road traffic. At every crossing of a major street there are signals to use. I highly recommend trying out this trail and using connections for a decent bike route.
Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.
I’ve trained on this paved trail for years! It’s well maintained, safe, and doesn’t have crazy elevation. The pedestrian 205 bridge is the most challenging uphill, but it’s also good elevation practice without taking up too much of the path. Intersections are hit or miss, but the gaps in between are still good stretches of trail. A great urban trail if you live around here.
Good paved bicycle path that is separated from 4 lane road by a strip of grass. It goes uphill from in the north direction so you can get a good leg burn on the way up and then cruise downhill afterwards. Scenery is a mix of vegetation, homes , and businesses that are typical of this area.
I can’t wait for this trail to be completed!
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.
