Confirmed from Foothills Trail Trailhead's 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.
Paved trail for walking and biking, plus river views.
What runners say about Foothills Trail Trailhead
“Now it is possible to walk or bicycle all the way from Puyallup to Enumclaw on a well-maintained paved path.”
“Beautiful place with great photo opportunities ❤ Nice weather and no snow as of today 6/22/21”
The final link between Enumclaw and Buckley is complete! The beautiful bridge over the White River (no motorized vehicles allowed) just opened! Now it is possible to walk or bicycle all the way from Puyallup to Enumclaw on a well-maintained paved path.
There are two parking entrances. The trail is all connecting from Puyallup n here begins with up slope to the river side n histrical place. Its wide concreat trail, so good for kids riding a bike, too. Parking: structured but really bumpy. During rainny season, it makes huge paddles.
I absolutely love this trail!!!! My kids and I always see something new we didn't see last time. Nature is the best part about walking,biking, and long boarding biking. We meet the nicest and friendliest locals, which makes it feel safe because a lot of people walk it!
I love this trail!! I have been using this to jog, dog walk, long board and now cart my children behind while I bicycle! I love that you can choose to go far.or short and back and forth of you prefer!
