This 2.2 mile unpaved trail is a popular walking and jogging trail, thanks to its accessibility and views of the Skagit River. Fisherman enjoy access to riverbank fishing from this trail.
Maple and cottonwood trees line the south end of its narrow dirt foot path. The north end offers open views of the river from a wide gravel trail.
Trailheads and Restrooms
Three easy-to-find access points to the trail include:
The trail is walkable north and south, from the Whitmarsh playfields near the train trestle (south trail) to the dike's intersection with Lafayette Road (north trail). Access to the trail is also possible from Lafayette Road.
