This trail is near my home. It's a great trail for walking or biking. You can walk down to the river. This trail goes all the way down to Enumclaw or Buckley. Lots of beautiful scenery, flowers in bloom and majestic views of Mt Rainier. I have yet to do the full trail. I will as soon as I get my Ebike LOL! I often walk this trail to walk Havanna my grandfur baby. It's always enjoyable.

Continuing to really enjoy the Foothills Trail! On the last outing Steve and I (as well as a…read morefriend) went from the McMillin Trailhead to the East Puyallup Trailhead which was about 4 miles one way. To avoid a very long walk we parked one car at the East Puyallup Trailhead and began our walk in by parking with our other car at the McMillan Trailhead. The walk was very enjoyable and the summer day we chose couldn't have been perfect with warm but mild temperatures. More forested scenery to enjoy as you walk between these two trailheads as opposed to going the opposite way to Orting. I am eager to tackle more chunks of this trail but have held off due to other summer time activities and we also learned that parts of the trail would be closed for maintenance for a part of the summer due to needed improvements so we are holding off to continue more pieces of the trail until Autumn where we hope these closures have expired and the maintenance is finished.

Waste of time. Falls? More like a little spring...blocked by wire fence and overgrown scrubs.read more

Geese were laying in the field, the lake was quiet, kids and their parents were playing in the playground, and people were sitting out in the pergola with picnic benches, enjoying the last days of summer. We walked the loop and the dogs go to sniff and pee to their hearts' content. The only reason why they lost a star ws because of the large amount of goose poop and the kids screaming in the playground kinda got to me, which is not the park's fault, but it's also part of my experience, so know that if you want to visit.

Small town Orting. You get the sense of a homey feel of this small park. There's two sections of…read morethe park. One has the kids playground. Other section has the basketball court. This park runs alongside the main road. Bike roads available for biking and walking ‍. It's nice to take a visit with Havanna for an enjoyable walk. I have not seen the park get crowded or busy. Picnic tables and restrooms available. One of the picture signs reflects "Orting City Park". Unsure of the validity of the name on Yelp.

Since I have never been to downtown Orting prior to my first walk on the Foothills Trail I didn't…read moreknow how cool it was. The set up and amenities are cherished after what felt like a long, hot walk on the trail. Lots of playground equipment, statues and historic outside pieces to take a gander at. The name is very appropriate as this park is literally across the stores and restaurants from downtown and the main drag which blends the two in a very convenient and resourceful way. Main City Park is also the beginning of another trailhead for the Foothills Trail as well. Very well kept and clean this park is great to spend time with family and is large enough if you wish to be more solitary from others you can to a certain degree.

My friend and I visited on a Friday around 2 PM, and there were a few spots open, so getting in was really easy. I loved how simple everything was to navigate, there's even a map available when you enter. Entry and parking are both completely free, which is a huge plus. We walked along the trail and I'd recommend spending about 2-3 hours here if you want to take your time and fully enjoy it. We had to speed-run our visit because we had another errand afterward, but it was still incredibly beautiful. I highly recommend stopping by the bridge, it was very therapeutic and relaxing to walk across. There are plenty of benches and seating areas along the way, perfect for taking breaks or just soaking in nature. The quality of the space is amazing, with a wide variety of rocks, trees, and scenery that make the whole experience feel peaceful. There are also bathrooms located at the front, and you're never too far from other people, which made it feel comfortable and safe. Overall, I definitely recommend stopping by this place.

Public Park??? Not really!…read more I'm not prone to giving bad reviews but after a year of trying to go to this park, I think they deserve what I'm about to say . The good news is that it is small, quiet and great place to go walking or walk your dog or have a nice meal at one of the benches.... but only when you can get in. The bad news is that it's closed to the public almost 80% of the year unless you go to one of the paid events that they hold there. While I understand that they have events for 4-H and the yearly fair they hold there. They have a bunch of other events that they shut the entire park down to the general public for. Don't get me wrong .... I'm all about having events for the public. But when it's one of the only parks within about 20 miles of where we live and we like to go there, but the gates are usually shut because they're setting up for some event 80%+ times of the year, we just have gotten used to not even going there anymore. It would be really nice if the county would make a park where citizens could go to relax, walk and play regularly. Simply not fair to the taxpayers who pay for this park and cannot use it regularly.

There are only a few parking spots available, but when we visited on a weekday after work mostly all the spots were still open. The trail is pretty short, its flat until you cross a bridge and the trail inclines with a stairway of steps around each corner. When you get to the top, its a straight path that goes to the nearby school's playground and to another part of the same neighborhood. This is only a 10 minute walk, but if you take a different trail on the left instead of going straight to the bridge, i believe it is a longer path. Keep in mind this park closes at dusk, so get yourself and your car out before they close the gate on you. Overall, we will definitely come back. This is a nice place to visit to kill some time and/or exercise a bit for yourself and your doggo.
