The Railroad Bridge Park trail in Sequim is part of the larger Olympic Discovery Trail, which runs from Port Townsend to the coast and is popular with cyclist. We went during the holidays and loved seeing the bridge decorated in garland and lights. The trail is flat and easy to navigate. You’ll start by crossing the bridge, which was built in 1915 and overlooks the Dungeness River.
Once over the bridge, you’ll enjoy a leisurely stroll through the woods and then spill out into a neighborhood area. Go as far as you like, then return the way you came. This is a popular path, so expect to see cyclists and people with dogs, among others. The Dungeness River Nature Center, an educational and interpretive center, has opened at the Railroad Bridge Park since we visited – you might want to check it out. Get directions and other information about this trail on the WTA site.
The paved trail is great for dogs with mobility challenges.
