ODT Railroad Bridge Trailhead Parking
Description:
This project will provide key parking and access to the popular Olympic Discovery Trail at Railroad Bridge Park, near Sequim. This regional trail will eventually provide a nonmotorized route from Port Townsend to the Pacific. A converted train trestle spans the Dungeness River at Railroad Bridge Park, and loop trails within the park provide access to the River. The park serves as both a destination point and a trailhead. Existing parking is inadequate to meet demand and future growth. This project includes acquisition of a two acre parcel on the east side of the river. A parking lot will be developed on this parcel. The existing parking on the west side of the river will be redeveloped. Minor improvements include safety lighting, fencing, and signage.
From the Sequim By Pass, take the River road exit. Turn north onto River Road. As River Road bends east, take the first left, Priest Road. At the end of Priest Road turn left onto Hendrickson Road. The major project site is on the left at the beginning of Railroad Bridge Park. Access to the western work site is from Highway 101, right turn north onto Carlsbrog Road, right on Runion Road which ends at Western trailhead entrance.
