Olympic Discovery Trail

Beautiful scenery!

September, 2025 by gary.heissler_tl

We rode the ODT section that took us along the north side of Lake Crescent. Technically, the signage for this section says it is the Spruce Railroad Trail. It was 8 miles from the start of this trail, going west, to the tip of the lake (past Ovington). It’s was a slight upgrade going out. However, the views in this section were spectacular and the trail was in great shape! Also, there’s ample parking at the trailhead which is where we would start next time!. Unfortunately, we started our ride near Gosset road and rode west. The first 2 miles were paved trail and nice. The next 3 miles were on a gravel road which wasn’t much fun.

Olympic Discovery Trail

Good but not great

September, 2025 by gary.heissler_tl

The next day, we continued our ride (10 miles one way) on the ODT trail starting from Sequim and going past Blyn where the trail ends. A bit more road riding in this section and some elevation changes but still enjoyable. We parked in town but would advise parking near the Albert Hailer play fields and pick up the trail from there. There are trail detours signs along the way they appear permanent. Overall, a good ride.

Olympic Discovery Trail

Great section

September, 2025 by gary.heissler_tl

We rode the section from the rest area east of Port Angeles (near RV@Olympic campground) to Sequim which was 14.5 miles one way. The trail was paved and in good condition and well marked. A few sections of road travel but really inconsequential to the whole. The first 5 miles of the trail was in a forested area with some significant ups and downs and winding turns. Glad to have e-bikes as those that didn’t were walking their bikes up the hills. Just need to be careful in this section! Otherwise, a really enjoyable ride! Also, Sequim has a number of places to eat that are rideable from the trail.

Fish Lake Trail

Nice Ride

September, 2025 by vnhobanion

Fun ride for the whole family. Small streams on both sides east of fish lake.

Pacific Way Trail

Nice trail

August, 2025 by gshuntaudio

We ride this one routinely. Flat hard packed gravel with a slight crown. Low traffic and an overall quiet setting. It is open all the way through including past the golf course, there are just gates to keep cars out.

Chehalis Western Trail

not what it used to be

August, 2025 by eddebm

So I have been riding rail trails all over the country for the past number of years. Living in the northwest, the Chehalis western Trail was one of my favorites of all times. I just rode it the other day, for the first time in about five years. I am very sad to say that it was not a very fun ride. There are so many tree root bumps on the trail now. If you’re on a mountain bike or a big tire E bike, it may not be an issue, but if you’re on a road bike moving at any kind of speed, it just is not a lot of fun. Still a lot of beauty and the trail is otherwise amazing. But I’m not gonna be back on for a while.

Tolt Pipeline Trail

private property!!! so tried of trespassers!!!!

August, 2025 by jennymm91

There is absolutely no trail to w snoqualmie valley rd! 133 is private and so is the property across from it! Violators be prosecuted!!!!!! Trail link you need to update your app! Your information is incorrect.

Redmond Central Connector (Eastrail)

Nice

August, 2025 by jagflanka5

Was nice and well taken care of. Surface was great! With lots of construction going on around it, was a bit hidden by temporary fences. Was nice to use for the short bit we did, wish it would have shown up better as a connector from the east lake Sammamish trail, missed it at first.

East Lake Sammamish Trail

Beautiful, well maintained, clean

August, 2025 by jagflanka5

Wife and I rode this and it is paved w/good surface, well kept, clean, good sight lines, benches and trash cans. Protected by fences. Only downsides I noticed was a lot of private driveways that cross over and lots of people’s houses right at trail edge which can be a bit much. Some nice views of the lake, lots of trees. Fun to go from Issaquah to Redmond! Overall we were impressed and lots to offer.

Columbia River Waterfront Renaissance Trail

long time biker first time riding

August, 2025 by darrell.moore74

I had just come from downtown and was wondering how far the path on the other side went. I then saw a sign to a park and followed it and I was pleasantly surprised and followed it to the end. I love it, if you get a chance check it out!

Olympic Discovery Trail

Not really a rail trail

August, 2025 by granteaston

This trail, while very long, is only on rail corridor for a small percentage of time. When riding this trail, you need to keep in mind that the only goal of this trail construction was to have a peninsula wide trail. There was never any intention of creating a good riding experience. So when you have areas that are 10%+ grades, get suddenly turned out on a road, or just question the wisdom of route decisions, remember the one and only goal and enjoy the good parts. If you want a real rail trail experience head out to the Spruce rail trail in Olympic NP. The best part of the trail is from Port Angeles a few miles east towards Sequim, which is rail trail until you hit the 10% grades.

Sumner Link Trail

July, 2025 by leo-cathy

We’re Riding bikes,It was a short trail ran through downtown. Had to stop for lights and traffic. And hard to the path.
