Cedar River Trail Park — Attraction in Renton

Had a situation this morning, with a woman who took offense with a dog that was part basset hound. Dog would bark and bay a lot. (bark, bark, barooooo.) Her dog had played with the dog in question for half an hour, along with the other 12 dogs that were there. After some people had left (on the hour, as people will do) she starting yelling at the 6 humans from 30 feet away, that the hound dog was aggressive, and people left because of this dog. What? This dog was NOT aggressive. Dog played nicely with the other 12 dogs, including the small dogs, too. She yelled her dog had been "knocked down 3 times". Dogs run and chase and wrestle, and yes, get "rolled over" in a chase game. We tried to tell her this, but 30 feet away is just like yelling on a school ground, and she should have approached the hound owner, instead of yelling 30 feet away. If you have a dog, and have never had a dog before, please do some some research on dog behavior, or engage a dog behaviorist, to teach you...

This is the dog park that everyone who tries to take their dogs to Coulon should know about and go. Made for people and dogs. There are ramps and slow inclines for people who have trouble walking and for wheelchairs. There are benches to sit and rest. Dog cleanup bags and garbage bins throughout the park and trail, making it easy to clean up after pet. There is a small play ground picnic area and restrooms. There is tons of parking available. The paved trail goes all the way from where the Cedar River flows into Lake Washington to downtown Renton and eventually out by the Maple Valley Hwy. It goes for miles. The trail goes by the library and the big community center by the water park. It runs between Boeing at the Landing and Renton airport. This park and trail are a Renton gem. Well worth checking out especially if you want a easy, endless, paved and beautifully landscaped trail to walk with friends, family and definitely...

This trail is perfect for bike riding, walking, running or taking the family. I took my Dad here to go on a bike ride and we had such a fun relaxed time riding and enjoying the views. The River is always beautiful and the trail is clean, it features a blanket of beautiful trees offering shade on hot days. There is a bridge that you can stop at to look over the river and gaze at the view. No hills or curves to go around, this is an easy straight path that anyone can enjoy. The trail runs roughly over 2 miles one way and 2 miles the other totaling a little over 4.5 miles. This trail connects right into downtown Renton where you can grab a bite to eat at the local pubs and cafes. I highly recommend checking out this trail if you’re looking for a relaxing place to get outside and...
