Redmond Powerline Trail

Also known as the PSE Trail, the Puget Power Trail, or just the Powerline Trail. Connects the Sammamish River Trail to Farrel-McWhirter Park. From the Sammamish River Trail, there is a steep climb over a ridge to a busy road crossing at Avondale Road (there is a crosswalk with horse-height crossing-request buttons, at least), then an easy ride to Farrel-McWhirter Park.

Directions

Since there is no specific parking area along this trail, follow the directions to get to either parking spot on the Sammamish River Trail or park at Farrel-McWhirter Park.
