This section of the Riverwalk Trail, a popular, paved multi-use trail, follows Puyallup River. This is a nice spot close to downtown Sumner, Washington, along the water. Although it's sometimes a little hard to see the river through the trees, it's still a great section of trail.

The King County Interurban Trail is a nearly 15‑mile paved trail following the former Puget Sound Electric Railway. It connects to the Green River Trail at both ends and passes through suburban and industrial zones, and open green spaces.

Duwamish Gardens Park is a small green space along the Duwamish River in Tukwila. It features native plantings, walking paths, benches, and a canoe/kayak launch, offering a peaceful spot to watch the river and local wildlife. Interpretive signs highlight the area's cultural and ecological history, including its importance to the Duwamish people.

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.

This park sits on a peninsula, surround by the Green River on three sides, and offer picnic areas, hiking trails, and fishing opportunities. But the highlight is the spectacular view of Mt. Rainier you get on clear days.

On clear days from this spot in Briscoe Park on the Green River Trail, you get great views of Mount Rainier. This is a nice spot to snap some photos before continuing on your hike.

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...
