Riverview Park — Attraction in Renton

Where the bridge is can be one of the starting points to get on the river (using inflatable tubes, kayaks/canoes, etc). There is a parking lot and can get full quickly in the afternoon and weekend. There is a small bathroom that has a couple stalls on the women's side and can presume that it's similar in size to the men's. There are different trails straight away from the bridge.

Finding a docking point to get down from the bridge and onto the river is challenging because there is no safe path. However, it is manageable with extreme caution. There are several docking spots throughout the river, but you just need to find one. We, on the other hand, carefully went down the slope next to the bridge.

Our plan is to bring a larger group with us next time.

p.s. for those Pokemon Go players, there's quite a bit to capture and spin along the way. had I been on a Mountain Hike, I wouldn't have encountered that Scyther in research and set my Wailmer to defend the gym there for 37hrs...

A wonderful family picnic spot with several unique features. Plenty of parking, then cross the pictured bridge over the Cedar river to a large open grassy area where several picnic tables and a shelter are next to a space large enough for a soccer game, volley ball and more. Restroom and tap water. If you want, you can proceed to the Cedar river trail for a Walk or bike ride through groves of Alder trees to Renton - or 20 miles toward...
