We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Green River Trailhead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

What runners say about Green River Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (35 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I am doing salmon habitat restoration at this site for my job and I liked the site for being in city of Kent it is well maintained and a nice trail

★★★★☆ — Katie , Sep 2019

This a fairly secure spot to start the Green River to Inter-Urban loop. There seems to be a good morning flow of walkers, dog walkers and bikers.

★★★★★ — Tim , Oct 2025

Green River Trail is beautiful walk. Tricky finding it. Turn left just past fitness center.

★★★★★ — Jim , Jun 2018

Not a lot of people on the trail when I went it's a wide open space lots of room for bikes to go both ways and people at the same time

★★★★☆ — Gerhard , Aug 2025

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

🐕 Dog-friendly 3 mentions

“It's definitely dog friendly I guess you can have a picnic there if you brought your own stuff including the table and chairs unless they have that stuff further in.”
