I'm looking for info on the greenway. I'm interested in riding it to the iron horse trail and state park.

I know there are some missing links, and on the greenway site I can not find a cuesheet for the missing links. There is a map that shows the missing links and states current actions of trying to fill those gaps, but doesn't give a cuesheet.

Anyone know where to find this info?

Thanks in advance.

Are you looking to get to the Iron Horse from Seattle? I know of a few different routes. My fave is Burke-Gilman/Sammamish trial to Tolt Pipeline Trail to Snoqualmie Valley Trail. There are shorter routes but that one is almost all trail.

Yeah I was looking to get to Iron Horse State Park from Seattle.

How well signed are these trails?

It is very straightforward. Take a look at King County's Regional Trail system webpage:

This should show you the missing links...

If you want to eliminate the gaps, park at the library in North Bend and hop on the Snoqualmie Valley Trail and take that up to the JWPT at Rattlesnake Lake. The SVT comes in two pieces with a gap beyond the Tokul trestle. Big quarry operation in the middle of the right of way.



The Geeenway map on their page is beyond useless. TrailLink had better data.
