Pacific Way Trail

Nice trail

August, 2025 by gshuntaudio

We ride this one routinely. Flat hard packed gravel with a slight crown. Low traffic and an overall quiet setting. It is open all the way through including past the golf course, there are just gates to keep cars out.

Chehalis Western Trail

not what it used to be

August, 2025 by eddebm

So I have been riding rail trails all over the country for the past number of years. Living in the northwest, the Chehalis western Trail was one of my favorites of all times. I just rode it the other day, for the first time in about five years. I am very sad to say that it was not a very fun ride. There are so many tree root bumps on the trail now. If you’re on a mountain bike or a big tire E bike, it may not be an issue, but if you’re on a road bike moving at any kind of speed, it just is not a lot of fun. Still a lot of beauty and the trail is otherwise amazing. But I’m not gonna be back on for a while.

Redmond Central Connector (Eastrail)

Nice

August, 2025 by jagflanka5

Was nice and well taken care of. Surface was great! With lots of construction going on around it, was a bit hidden by temporary fences. Was nice to use for the short bit we did, wish it would have shown up better as a connector from the east lake Sammamish trail, missed it at first.

East Lake Sammamish Trail

Beautiful, well maintained, clean

August, 2025 by jagflanka5

Wife and I rode this and it is paved w/good surface, well kept, clean, good sight lines, benches and trash cans. Protected by fences. Only downsides I noticed was a lot of private driveways that cross over and lots of people’s houses right at trail edge which can be a bit much. Some nice views of the lake, lots of trees. Fun to go from Issaquah to Redmond! Overall we were impressed and lots to offer.

Columbia River Waterfront Renaissance Trail

long time biker first time riding

August, 2025 by darrell.moore74

I had just come from downtown and was wondering how far the path on the other side went. I then saw a sign to a park and followed it and I was pleasantly surprised and followed it to the end. I love it, if you get a chance check it out!

Olympic Discovery Trail

Not really a rail trail

August, 2025 by granteaston

This trail, while very long, is only on rail corridor for a small percentage of time. When riding this trail, you need to keep in mind that the only goal of this trail construction was to have a peninsula wide trail. There was never any intention of creating a good riding experience. So when you have areas that are 10%+ grades, get suddenly turned out on a road, or just question the wisdom of route decisions, remember the one and only goal and enjoy the good parts. If you want a real rail trail experience head out to the Spruce rail trail in Olympic NP. The best part of the trail is from Port Angeles a few miles east towards Sequim, which is rail trail until you hit the 10% grades.

Spokane River Centennial State Park Trail

Choose Your Own Adventure

July, 2025 by dmurphy52

Background: My wife and I are in our 70's, I ride a recumbent, she rides a pedal assist E-bike.

We rode the entirely of this path, heading west out of downton Spokane the first day, and east from the same starting point the second day.

The ride west mixes scenery with challenge, at least for folks in our age group. Best to download the trail map from Traillink onto your phone or device, as there are a couple of spots where the trail is on paved roads for a stretch, and the transitions can be a bit tricky. There are some significant grades on parts of this trail, with my Wahoo cyclometer briefly registering 10% at times. All that said, this is a marvelous trail to ride, and the endpoint at a lake is a fine place for a picnic, getting water, using the restroom, and just kicking back for a bit. The path is in good repair, the scenery well worth the exertion.

The eastern leg (starting from downtown) is a breeze. Mildly rolling inclines along the river, smooth well maintained bike path, sounds of happy folks floating the river down below...good stuff for anyone from kids that have just learned to ride to older folks that love to ride but are not looking for an exhausting outing. My wife and I rode to the Idaho border, where the Idaho section of the trail picks up and heads for Coeur d'Alene. Though it lacks the physical challenge of the western leg of this trail, this section of the trail fits snugly into the "mighty fine" category. Enjoy!

Burnt Bridge Creek Trail

First Time- Western Section

July, 2025 by jandrovich

I rode between the west end and St.John’s Rd…a Saturday…my first time on this trail. This part of trail is in excellent shape yet directional signage is poor, non existent or damaged and as a result I ended up on one dead end spur where it appeared I stumbled into some drug dealing or use…did a quick U turn! There are also no mile markers and the trail changed names 3 times on this section: Burnt Bridge, Ellen Davis and Discovery trail. More confusion! That said I’ll attempt the entire route soon and provide an updated review then.

Whitehorse Regional Trail

I'd give it 6 stars if I could

July, 2025 by steve1107

We did this trail last weekend, from Trafton to Darrington and back, 48.5 miles total, on 1.5" and 1.25" tire bikes, one an eBike, one not. The only downside was the last 5 or so miles at the Darrington end, which got fairly bumpy for stretches totalling at least half that distance, but nonetheless quite do-able if you keep at it. Fantastic scenery. Other people encountered averaged about 1 every 2 miles, my kind of trail, and that on a Saturday in July in perfect weather. The log over the trail reported by the last reviewer had been clearly cut and moved out of the way. There are 2 places where there are "trail closed" signs, one a bridge and the other where the river is starting to eat away at the trail, but we ignored the signs and had no sign-related problems.

Apple Capital Loop Trail

worth the stop!

July, 2025 by loraleecampbell

What a nice trail! Clean, and well maintained. One bridge under construction but able to use detour to still do entire loop. South Bridge the only area we encountered a homeless group. Northern part of trail to Fishers Park mostly in the open, no shade. 90 degrees with wind and it was bearable. Through town on East side of river some shade. West side of river through parks and marketplace, more people and speed limit of 10. Very enjoyable ride would definitely do it again!
