The purpose of the nonprofit Yakima Greenway Foundation is to conserve,
enhance and maintain the Yakima Greenway as a continuing living resource
for future generations.
Located in Central Washington state, the Yakima Greenway boasts ten miles
of paved pathway, three parks, two fishing lakes, and four river access
landings along with protected and natural areas. Greenway facilities are
free and open to the public year 'round, dawn to dusk.
The Yakima Greenway Path was designated a National Recreation Trail by
the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1993, bringing it into the nation's
system of excellent trails. The pathways are patrolled by the Greenway's
Courtesy Cart throughout the summer months.
The Greenway is the perfect place for walking, bird watching, fishing,
running, biking, skating, picnicking, and enjoying healthy outdoor activities
in solitude or with friends and family. It is wheelchair accessible, with
fishing piers designed for the disabled at Rotary Lake.
The Greenway is fondly known as "The Jewel of Yakima" and is a favorite
place enjoyed and supported by thousands of residents and visitors every
year. There is no place else like it in the Yakima Valley!
