 Miles of winding country roads in rural Snohomish County offer endless opportunities for peaceful walks or bike rides. There are also four designated trail systems, the Interurban Trail, Centennial Trail, Lowell Riverfront Trail, and Langus Riverfront Park and Nature Trail all offer safe walking and biking for the whole family.
The Interurban Trail (map) is a 19-mile paved trail along the Interurban Trolley line route that once carried passengers and freight between Everett and Seattle in the early 1900's. Now the trail is accessible to walkers, joggers, bladers and bikers. It is marked with directional and historical signs and can be accessed at various locations along the route. For more information call the City of Lynnwood Park and Recreation Department (425) 670-8312.
The 17-mile Centennial Trail (map), which runs from Snohomish to Arlington, is built on an abandoned railroad right-of-way. The paved trail is designated a National Recreational Tail and is open to walkers, bikers, bladers and horseback riders. There are picnic areas along the route, which parallels the Pilchuck River in many spots. Call 425-388-6600 for more information.
The Lowell Riverfront Trail in Everett is a 1.6-mile pedestrian trail that stretches from a south entrance just off Lowell River Road (near Rotary Park) to its northern end. The 10-ft. wide paved path traverses an area revered for its historical significance, natural beauty and central location.
The Langus Riverfront Park and Nature Trail includes a paved nature trail that leads to Spencer Island, an intertidal 413-acre refuge that is open for hiking and birdwatching. To get there from Everett, take northbound Hwy 529 and exit at 28th Place, just north of the Snohomish River bridge.
