Discovery Trail

Great for fitness walking

July, 2021 by peaceluck

Due to the generous width of this multi-use trail it’s suitable for fitness walking with its smooth consistent asphalt surface.
Be alert to bicycles approaching from behind - as in most locales bicyclists typically don’t provide an audible warning before passing. Thanks to those of you who do.
While signs at major trail access points state that motorized vehicles are prohibited I regularly encounter motorized bicycles on the trail, an unpleasant trend.

Lake Boren Esplanade

smooth & flat~

July, 2021 by tranguyennn

Great trail for skateboarding. It’s mainly flat, so great for coasting. There’s a few crosswalks that you have to stop for, so be aware and cautious. You can also walk down to Lake Boren Park. Even tho it’s next to a busy street, I feel pretty safe on it.

Soos Creek Trail

smooth trail

July, 2021 by tranguyennn

This trail is great for skateboarding. There’s a few “hills”, so I wouldn’t recommend this if you’re a beginner skater. Once you’re more comfortable, it’s a great area to coast. It’s wide enough to make turns (when no one is around). There are a few areas (nearby the benches and such) that will have small rocks -watch out, they’re sneaky!

Cedar River Trail (WA)

Nice ride

July, 2021 by dockeryj

We started at the Hobart end of the trail. While it is gravel at that end we preferred the lush trees, frequent river views and numerous trestles. Once you get to the section along the highway it turns into a dusty and noisy ride.

Whitehorse Trail

ATVs, Dirt Bikes on Trail

July, 2021 by saskia.ilcisin

Started in Darrington- made it about 2 1/2 miles West, trail is closed after that point due to a landslide. Trail itself was nice enough, many biting insects despite bug spray, but ran into 3 quads/ATVs and 2 motorized dirt bikes- I’m not sure how they got around/through the large concrete blockades, but it was frustrating to encounter on a trail that they supposedly aren’t allowed on (I was there with horses). Happy to run into cyclists and hikers, less so motorized vehicles.

Soos Creek Trail

A great beginner trail

July, 2021 by mehhossein_tl

If you like a good workout a riding in nature but you are not a hardcore cyclist this is a trail for you.

Cross Kirkland Corridor

nice and easy trail

June, 2021 by vishrutshah

Easy bike trail - the part between google building and Bellevue has beautiful views

Ebey Waterfront Trail

bird watching and sea lions ¿

June, 2021 by wo.nellie

It was a little stinky but the beautiful sights were gorgeous. Not too busy. Easy to get to and cool temperatures with water on both sides of the walkway. Flat paved roads. Nice Sunday stroll

Coal Creek Trail (WA)

Stunning

June, 2021 by akagirlfriend_tl

You won’t want to miss this one!

Scott Pierson Trail

I greatly enjoy this trail. There can be trash left around the tunnel by the houseless, but it is fairly clean. I recommended using the 311 just to alert the city to help keep trail clean. It's such a peaceful ride.

North Creek Trail

Good for walks, not for biking

June, 2021 by dongarber_tl

Lovely, mostly shaded and tranquil asphalt trail winds behind condos and neighborhoods. Many tight 90 degree turns and short visibility rules this trail out if you’re looking for a workout type trail to bike on.
