Pierce County Foothills Trail
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Foothills Trail is a mostly paved rail-trail in east Pierce County, Washington, extending uninterrupted for 14 miles (23 km) from Puyallup, Washington to Orting, Washington to South Prairie, Washington. The trail is almost entirely paved and is used by cyclists, walkers, joggers, and horse riders.
Other portions of the trail in Buckley, Washington, Wilkeson, Washington and along River Road in Puyallup are not currently connected but will be if current plans are achieved. The River Road portion is expected to connect with the main trail in early 2008.
