Feet First wants to encourage all to…

KEEP WALKING INTO SPRING & SUMMER!

Each month through April, Feet First features a different walk in or close to Kent. You can enjoy these walks any day you wish to go, in your own time.

FEET FIRST VOLUNTEER KATHERINE IS OUR WALKER OF THE MONTH. HERE IS HER RECOMMENDED WALK FOR APRIL:

Walk south from the Three Friends Fishing Hole following the Green River

TRAILHEAD LOCATION: Three Friends Fishing Hole Park, 20025 Russell Rd. (off S. 200^th St.) Kent.

Find on Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/ydawq47eZZ22

Feet First Volunteers Katherine (on the right) and Joan walk south down the Green River Trail last Oct.

WALK DETAILS: Walk south down the Green River Trail to and over the S. 212^th bridge, using the special by-pass created for bikers/walkers. Continue south the other side of the river down Frager Road.

DISTANCE: To walk out 1.5 miles, turn around just before the pedestrian bridge and return the same way. This makes a round trip that’s close to 3 miles. Walk at your own pace. You can continue further south or turn back earlier if you prefer.

FEATURES: What Katherine says about this walk is:

”I like the Green River/Frager Road walk south from Three Friends because it’s easy to do. The route is alongside the river all the way. I have my favorite river spots to check on (depth of water at different times of year for instance).”

ACCESS: All the trail is paved and also flat (except for a ramp to access the SD. 212^thbridge), so is suitable for those using wheelchairs, strollers etc at least as far as the bridge.

WALKING WITH FEET FIRST: Katherine says: “I’m so glad to still be volunteering with the group – it’s not stressful, it’s every other week on Wednesdays (easy to remember), and didn’t have to stop during COVID, because we had our protocols down pat. Thanks to all for last season, and another one coming up”.
