Just a simple bridge with Voight Creek views.

The Foothills Trail is a mostly paved 21-mile path from Puyallup toward Mount Rainier, perfect for walking, biking, and horseback riding. Enjoy views of Mount Rainier, wildlife, and historic sites like Melmont ghost town. Multiple access points make it easy to explore sections at your pace.

The Green River Natural Resources Area (GRNRA), just east of Van Doren's Landing Park in Kent, is a hidden gem along the Green River Trail, especially for birders, cyclists, and walkers who enjoy a mix of wetland, prairie, and river views all in one place. Originally developed as a stormwater treatment facility, the area now serves a dual purpose: it filters urban runoff and provides essential habitat for wildlife. The result is a 304-acre patchwork of restored wetlands, ponds, and native plantings that feel far more wild than their suburban surroundings suggest. From the trail, especially near Van Doren’s Landing, you’ll see viewing platforms and side paths leading into the heart of the GRNRA. Expect to spot herons, ducks, red-winged blackbirds, and—if you're lucky—bald eagles or osprey. Interpretive signs explain the ecology and the city’s innovative use of the land. It’s also a great stop for a break if you’re riding—plenty of benches and low-traffic paths make it easy to linger. Let me know if you want a good loop or spur trail that includes both the Green River Trail and the GRNRA.

Near this spot on the Sumner Link Trail, just south of Tacoma Ave, there are a few picnic tables just off the trail and you're quite close to the White River. This is a nice spot to stop as you ride around the area.

Love this bridge. Would love it more if the trail actually crossed over the old broken bridge just one tenth of a mile farther north...

This is a fantastic viewpoint along the river, and the paved section of trail here is easily done on a road bike.

The Foothills Trail parallels the Carbon River for many miles, but your view is often obscured by foliage. Here you get a clear view of the river from the trail, as well as the verdant flora overhanging its banks.

This 10+ acre park along the Green River is great for families. There's a playground and climbing structure for the kids as well as plenty of grassy fields for picnics. The park is also a great place to get on the Green River Trail, which runs for nearly 20 miles across King County.
