Caution is needed along the route, as homeless individuals often leave trash everywhere.

American Lake Park sits on the largest natural body of water in the county and offers a wide variety of water sports and activities, excellent fishing, and fantastic views of Mount Rainier. The lake contains several islands, a boat dock, and Summer's Cove, a quiet spot at the north end of the lake, away from the more populated areas of the Park.

Long Lake Park, with its beautiful evergreen entrance, opens up to 285 feet of sandy shoreline and is one of the best swimming beaches in the area. There are volleyball and picnic areas in the sand, making it a great pit stop to have a snack and cool off during a long ride.

This spot near the small community of Olalla is beautiful, with upfront views of the Calvas Passage. There is a small convenience store where you can stop and purchase snacks and drinks.

Lake Steilacoom spans 320 acres and is very shallow, with its deepest point at less than 25 feet. It was initially formed in 1853 when a sawmill owner named Andrew Byrd needed a water reserve, so he built a dam over Chambers Creek to supply it with water. There is a mysterious legend that the lake is haunted by a female monster known as Whe-atchee, so much so that the local Nisqually tribe refuses to swim or fish in the lake.

This is a nice vantage point of Yakima Hill, a quiet neighborhood on a slope with great views of Commencement Bay in Puget Sound.

This is a well-maintained, wide, paved pathway that runs along the power lines (hence the name) and parallels State Route 16. It has multiple access points and several benches and picnic tables along the way. As you traverse the route, you can expect to travel over several hills through some beautiful scenic areas.

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge consists of two suspension bridges offering impressive views over the Puget Sound. It can be a breezy ride, especially in the fall and spring. Be alert when descending onto the bridge from the west side (Gig Harbor), as there is an entrance to the trail on the right-hand side near the bottom of the hill, and other cyclists entering the path may be unaware of others barreling down at them at high speeds. On the east side (Tacoma), use caution when crossing busy Jackson Street, as there have been several auto/bike accidents at the off-ramp.
