The Golden Tiger Pathway offers a 5.5-mile route in the community of Republic in northeast Washington. In addition to walking and biking, it's open to motorized ATV use.
The Great Northern Railroad came into Republic in 1902. The depot, located near the present site of a Chevron gas station, was used for both passengers and freight until sometime in the 1930s. The train supplied the mines, hauled ore to Canadian smelters and transported brick and other construction materials. It also brought local students to and from college and whisked shoppers to Spokane.
From the north end of the trail, you can connect to the Ferry County Rail Trail, which spans 25 miles north from Republic to Danville and the Canadian border.
Parking for the Golden Tiger Pathway can be found at the western end of the trail in Republic.
