We rode this trail on a wet day, which might have dampened my enthusiasm. The first part, from Boeing to the golf course, is wonderful, park-like and fun. Then, however, you ride along a busy highway. Although this is much better than riding on the road, it is close enough that the traffic noise was bothersome.
The satellite map on mapmywalk.com shows that this trail keeps going further than Landsburg Park up to Rattlesnake Lake and then connects to Snoqualmie Valley Trail. Is this true?
The King County Parks web site’s page on the Cedar River Trail (link in text above) says: “The Cedar River Trail follows the Cedar River from where it enters Lake Washington in the City of Renton upriver to the community of Landsburg at the boundary of the City of Seattle’s Cedar River Watershed.”. So it sounds like it ends in Landsburg. There may be another trail that connects there — I don’t know. If you go up there and find out, come back and leave another comment!
I don’t see what Igor is speaking of. After reviewing the website he lists, it doesn’t show this at all. And even if it did, I don’t believe it because it goes through to Rattlesnake as he is talking about, that would go through a major watershed area for the entire region. Not likely. But it sounds like a great excuse to get out there and ride the only remaining paved trail in Pierce, King, and Snohomish on Jen’s list that I haven’t ridden yet!
