Regional Trails Hours of Operation Survey
Regional Trails Hours of Operation Survey
There are more than 300 miles of regional trails here in King County. What are regional trails? Trails that are mostly flat and paved, wide enough to pass another person walking or on a bike, and off-street. Some examples are trails like the Burke-Gilman Trail in Seattle, Lake City, and Bothell, the Sammamish River Trail in Woodinville and Redmond, or the Cedar River Trail and Green River Trail in Renton and Tukwila.
King County Parks stewards about 175 miles of regional trails within the Leafline Trails Network, a four-county network from Snohomish to Pierce and Kitsap Counties. We are considering expanding our regional trails' operating hours and would like your feedback. This survey should only take a few minutes and will be open until midnight Friday, October 18.
