Green River Trail is 19.6 miles long and is great for both walking and cycling. The entire trail is located inside King County, and it runs through many different types of scenery. Rural, urban, and industrial views meet users of the trail. It runs alongside both the Duwamish River and Green River and includes several bridges that cross those waters. It begins in a park near the southern boundary of Seattle- Cecil Moses Park. It continues through to the southern part of Kent and ends at North Green River Park. 

Some parts of the trail are paved while others are on un-paved soft surfaces. The trail remains popular for its great views of the Green River as well as access to the water. It also provides excellent views of the river valley.
