It was great to celebrate the opening of the Yelm Prairie Line Trail Nisqually River Bridge with our pals from Foothills Rails to Trails Coalition and Pierce County Parks.

Today was a great day! We had a sun break just long enough for a ribbon cutting celebration for the Nisqually River Bridge portion of the Yelm Prairie Line Trail.

We are working with project partners to extend the trail to Roy. Thank you for your patience as we do the grant work for design funds. Please enjoy your visit and respect the trail.

We’re excited to celebrate the official ribbon cutting and opening of the Prairie Line Trail Bridge Overlook!

This beautiful new addition creates a unique space for our community to connect with nature, enjoy scenic views, and experience the Prairie Line Trail in a whole new way.

This project was made possible through a strong partnership between the City of Yelm, the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO), SCJ Alliance, Forever Green Trails, Boss Construction, the PARC Foundation, and the Thurston Regional Planning Council (TRPC). Together, we’re investing in spaces that bring people together and enhance quality of life in Yelm.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring this vision to life—we can’t wait for you to visit and enjoy it!

For clarity, Phase 2B crossed the Nisqually River and landed the trail in Pierce County. It does not YET connect to a public right-of-way in Pierce but we are working on the funding for that.
