Federal Way BPA Trail

Federal Way doesn't have any old railroad corridors for paving a long bike trail but they do have a swath of Bonneville Power Administration powerlines. As with most powerlines, the most direct route is preferred so the BPA trail is full of ups and downs as it travels across hilly Federal Way. The trail is a nice link into the downtown area from numerous neighborhoods in Federal Way. There are dozens of side trails linking all the developments. Another shorter trail called the West Campus Trail merges in just west of 1st Avenue. This connector trail is 1.1 miles and goes to 320th street (also shown on the map below). The BPA trail isn't the best for young kids on bikes due to the hilly sections, some adults dislike them as well!
