Trail
Take a walk, bike, or horse ride on this trail all year round. It is a great recreation option for families as it is relatively flat, passable in most weather conditions and easy to access from multiple trailheads. Trailheads in Lewis County include Chehalis, Adna, Rainbow Falls State Park, and Pe Ell. Pacific County offers access points at Lebam, Menlo, Raymond, and South Bend. Most people access the trail at Chehalis and travel westward.
Surface conditions vary along the trail. From Chehalis through the town of Adna, the trail is asphalt. From here, it transitions to compacted gravel at mile 5 and continues to mile 27, west of Pe Ell. In Pacific County, the trail is natural/unimproved west of mile 27 all the way to the Raymond city limits near mile 52. The trail then transitions back to asphalt for five miles between Raymond and South Bend and ends at a small trailhead accessible by Highway 101.
As funding becomes available, we will make improvements to open up the entire trail. Much work remains to complete the trail in Pacific County. Many miles of trail are rough or impassible for some travelers because it is surfaced with railroad ballast rock.
