We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Puyallup Riverwalk Trail 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 Puyallup Riverwalk Trail
There is about a dozen or more parking spots the trail follows the river very popular with cyclist some picnic tables
Lived on the trail for almost 6months. I miss all the regular walkers and dog walkers both on the skate park and the behind rite aid sides.
Very nice, well-kept trail along the Puyallup River. Ample parking places by Mama Stortini's and there's seating along the path plus spots to view the river. Perfect for biking or walking. Views of Rainier along the way, including over the local skate park (pictured.
It's a pedestrian dependent way to get from East Puyallup - Downtown Sumner. Nice views of the water, but otherwise feels slightly repetitive with how little "scenic vegetation" there is to admire
