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.
Google Maps takes you to the wrong location. Use the directions listed here. Very chill flat path, beautiful river, and saw lots of wildlife.
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.
Paved, rather short, but passes thru some niceky preserved wetlands. Bonus: it also goes past Jakob Two Trees, a large troll artwork done by a Danish artist.
Fantastic new addition to this already awesome trail system. The bridge and river were beautiful! Im excited to see this trail be developed more.
Riding this a lot and it is a great trail, looking forward to it getting across the Spokane River at SCC.
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.
We had the best day on the trail. Nice trail ride for anyone. Recommend getting the shuttle back to Silver Fir for convenience! Made for a great day! Pletny of places to stop and tons to see along the way.
We rode the ODT section that took us along the north side of Lake Crescent. Technically, the signage for this section says it is the Spruce Railroad Trail. It was 8 miles from the start of this trail, going west, to the tip of the lake (past Ovington). It’s was a slight upgrade going out. However, the views in this section were spectacular and the trail was in great shape! Also, there’s ample parking at the trailhead which is where we would start next time!. Unfortunately, we started our ride near Gosset road and rode west. The first 2 miles were paved trail and nice. The next 3 miles were on a gravel road which wasn’t much fun.
