MILTON INTERURBAN TRAIL 70th Avenue – Porter Way, Kent Street – S. 380th Place Proposed Milton Interurban Trail The Interurban railway right-of-way is a notable scenic route that meanders through the City of Milton from 70th Avenue in Pierce County through Military Road in King County. The right-of-way property is 100 feet wide and includes significant stands of coniferous trees and several areas of distinctive natural features, including the East Branch of the Hylebos Creek, known as Sweetwater Creek. The Park Board, Planning Commission, and City Council have identified the acquisition and development of the right-of-way into a trail as a high priority. They plan for the trail to provide significant active recreational activities with interpretive viewpoints and picnic areas. The City is continuing to pursue funding for the purchase and development of the right-of-way. The City has acquired the Pierce County portion of the trail through Pierce County Conservation Futures. More recently, the City has explored funding opportunities to acquire the remaining portion of the trail situated in King County and to develop the entire trail route within Milton City limits. The current condition of the trail varies, but portions are currently suited for pedestrian use. Access points are from 70th Avenue near I-5 through Porter Way and again from Kent Street through S. 380th Place. Persons with strollers, wheelchairs, and bicycles may have difficulties traversing the trail due to the heavy gravel surface.
