Foothills Trail--South Prairie
Foothills Trail
This bridge over South Prairie Creek is the current terminus of the15-miles of continuous trail from Puyallup to here.  Pierce County has recently purchased the land on the other side of the bridge and is in negotiations for additional parcels, so that it can all be linked to the Buckley and Wilkeson trails.
