ODT Railroad Bridge Trailhead Parking
- Status
- Funded in 2003
This project in Clallam County will provide key parking and access to the popular Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) at Railroad Bridge Park near Sequim. This regional trail runs east to west and will eventually provide a nonmotorized route from Port Townsend to the Pacific. Several phases have been completed and further construction is underway. A nonmotorized 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. This proposal involves two work sites, one on each side of the Dungeness. A two-acre parcel will be acquired and 64 parking spaces developed on the east side of the park. Ten parking spaces will be developed on the west side with trail safety improvements. Other improvements include safety lighting, fencing, and entrance and directional signs. Partners include two local non-profit organizations, the National Audubon Society, Clallam County, and the Peninsula Trails Coalition.
