Tolt Pipeline Trail is a 11.1 mile moderately trafficked point-to-point trail located near Bothell, Washington that features a great forest setting and is good for all skill levels.

A nice flat, open road for strolling, running, biking etc. Please note, the dirt sections of the trail can get pretty muddy.
Please note portions of this trail are paved and other portions are not. The portions that are not paved may be muddy and difficult to pass on a road bike or with a wheelchair.
Love this trail for running! I’ve done it twice now. It’s a good workout too- very hilly in sections. Well trafficked so I don’t feel scared doing solo! I did a 14 miler out and back a few months back & it was great. Today I did 10 miles on it. Great long run route.
Great hike. I did it with my 7 year old daughter and she thought it was “fun”. Just the right amount of challenge for a family hike. Nice park at the trail head (Blyth park) where you can play soccer, frisbee, or have a picnic. There is also a nice playground for kids and a covered eating area that you can rent for special events.
I tried the trail today starting at it’s western most point at Blyth Park in Bothell. I’m only giving in three stars as it won’t work out as a running course for me because of the very beginning: It is super long and steep, so much so that I’d exhaust any energy getting up it before I could even begin my run. I love trail running and can deal with hills here and there but this was too much for me!
muddy , I thought it was 11 miles round-trip but even after dondeling around for a while before I really got started it was about 11 each way
Shoes - Wore the Evo Speedgoat for the second time. No good. Both feet starting to go numb this time.
Not the prettiest, but in good shape and great for running. If you’re just looking for a pretty hike, there are better options but this is great for getting in trail miles. I ran/hiked this today in prep for a trail half marathon. There are some places where you have to zig zag and go on surface streets to regain the trail and directional signs are non existent. This map was super helpful.
Convenience makes this hike/walk a no brainer for me. I walk it on a weekly basis. Usually starting in Woodinville at “heart attack hill”. This hill and the one behind Wayne’s Golf Course in Bothell have a pretty steep incline and are a great way to get the heart pumping. I always see other runners, cyclists, horseback riders, etc... but I would never describe the trail as crowded and always feel safe.
Very steep right from the beginning, I would suggest tarting a little into the tail on one of the cross roads if you are starting from the east end. And getting across I-405 was a little confusing but all you have to do is follow the power lines to find it. Once you get across the River there are few interruptions and I enjoyed that part much more.
