IDEAL LOW EFFORT outdoorsy adventure with kids in the South Sound Seattle area 🚲
Bike ride with a stop for incredible pizza will make EVERYone enjoy the day - I promise! 😋
🅿️ Park at Summit Park, in Maple Valley. You will need to bike about 3 blocks along city streets to reach the Cedar to Green River trail because the part of the trail connected to Summit Park is currently under construction. Ride to Maple Valley Black Diamond Road, turn left, and then turn left on SE Kent Kangley Road and the bike trail will be on your right side!
🚲 Bike the trail: it’s partially paved and partially gravel, and mostly flat so kids (and let’s be real, adults too) will be able to enjoy it! It’s mostly shaded, and passes by Lake Wilderness which has a fantastic playground if you have time to make a stop there 🛝 Total distance is approximately 4 miles each way!
💡 Tips: For our 3 year old, we brought the trailer AND his bike. He was able to bike part of the trail each way and then caught a ride in the trailer when he was tired. This was perfect! My older niece and nephew were able to bike it either on their own or on a tag along bike.
🍕 Cascadia Pizza: Has both outdoor and indoor seating, with river views, places to leave your bike, and it’s pet friendly! Be sure to try the root beer - it was SO good. Pizza and wings were both high quality.
Who are you going to bring to ride here?!
