The first phase was completed in 1995, and the second was completed in 1997. This trail is part of a planned regional trail extending from Covington to Tacoma. It will be the backbone of the area's trail system, linking local area trails. Adding landscaping, and pull-off rest stops at strategic locations to provide framed views of Mt. Rainier, Panther Lake, and other such scenic attractions will provide scenic beautification. A parking lot will be constructed at the south end of the trail, SW 356th Street.
All work is complete except for the installation of trees, bushes, and sod.
These items are on hold until the fall transplanting season.
