Reiter Foothills Trail System Development Phase I
- Status
- Funded in 2011
The Department of Natural Resources will use this grant to develop a non-motorized trail system in northwest portion of Reiter Foothills Forest, extending from Reiter Road north and connecting to Wallace Falls State Park. The department will build trails for hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian use, and install a major trail bridge and signs. Construction of these trails will improve public safety, reduce natural resource damage, and meet increasing public demand for the area. Less than 30 miles from Everett, the Reiter Foothills Forest includes about 10,000 acres of sub-alpine terrain between the Skykomish River to the south and the Sultan River basin to the north. The Wild Sky Wilderness Area makes up the eastern border of the forest, and forest and houses are along the western edge. The department will contribute $20,000 in donated labor.
Location
Travel U.S. Hwy 2 to the southeast outskirts of Gold Bar. Turn north on Reiter Road, and in less than a mile you will come to a split in the road. Continue to your right on Reiter Road to the old gravel pit/parking area. The developed trail system will originate in this area and extend north.
