Jim Martinson Exercise Trail is a 0.6 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Puyallup, Washington that features a great forest setting and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
Heads up as you hike - trees fell as we were on the trail. Keep the app open as some of the trail isn't clear and there are spots blocked by trees. not a bad hike for toddlers and preschoolers - definitely a good one.
Finding the start/stop point for this trail is a bit tricky, but if you're paying attention you'll notice it just west of Shelter #9. If you end up on private property you're definitely not paying attention. The trail and exercise stations haven't been very well maintained by the City, only a few have instruction boards left at them, and quite a few of the trail markers have disappeared over the years, but still a good trail to get the heart rate going. During the weekends be aware of families walking side-by-side, effectively blocking the entire trail. On one Sunday outing here, I encountered at least three families of five or more taking up the entire trail, two of them walking dogs off-leash. During the week, it's lightly used, however, so a good resource for a workout while the gyms are closed.
me and my cousins just drove there today. there was a bunch of private property houses. so we walked around trying to find the trail entrance, and a man and women came out of there house about to lease there dog on us "what are doing on our property" the man yelled. oh boy was that scary. just following directions on the google maps sorry. I get why they were angry especially the dog. so 1 star, was very confused on the direction where it lead us. so we left. couldnt find it. was really excited for this one. owell on to the next.
