Confirmed from Brewery Park at Tumwater Falls' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Riverside nature park on 15 acres with trails, cascades, lawns & a children's play area.
What runners say about Brewery Park at Tumwater Falls
“I honestly thought it was just a small kids’ park, but it turned into one of the most beautiful and relaxing spots we’ve been to.”
“There are easy walking trails on both sides of the river with excellent views of the salmon swimming upstream from several pedestrian bridges.”
It's a beautiful park on a waterway that is also a salmon run. There are many salmon letters there that are still working. There are plenty of nice pathways with plenty of good overlooks to look at the water and the salmon which are making their way upstream. It's a nice place to go. Very peaceful.
This is a really cool family and kid friendly place. There are easy walking trails on both sides of the river with excellent views of the salmon swimming upstream from several pedestrian bridges. I believe back in the 50's is when they constructed fish ladders so the salmon could navigate upstream.
This park is like an oasis! So easy to forget your in the middle of a city with the trees blocking out the city and the river blocking out the noise. Beautiful and easy walking trail. Seeing the Fish ladder is amazing, and when you get to the hatchery it's all very informative and easy to see/viewable.
10/10 the view is amazing!!! Great for after lunch walk or morning before/after breakfast. If you're in town stop by and explore a bit, they have water fountains, table sets, public bathrooms and most of the trails are covered in shade not alot of sun exposure.
