Trail Corridor

Spanning over 27 miles between the City of Arlington and the Town of Darrington, the Whitehorse Regional Trail follows the path of the former BNSF railroad through the North Stillaguamish River Valley. The trail meanders through the valley from its junction with the Centennial Regional Trail in Arlington, frequently paralleling SR 530 and the North Fork Stillaguamish River. The backcountry corridor rewards visitors with picturesque, landscape views of forests, farmland, streams and rivers, and mountain vistas.


There are currently two closures on the Whitehorse Trail. The first is between the Centennial Trail connection and the Trafton Trailhead. The second is just west of 435th Ave NE near Darrington. These closures are due to landslides and river washouts. The remainder of the trail is open to the public and much of the trail has recently been resurfaced with compacted gravel.

CURRENT STATUS

Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback with us at our public meeting and through our survey this spring! We had over 20 people share their thoughts with us at our public meeting and via the online survey. If you were unable to attend the meeting, a copy of the presentation slides has been added under the Documents tab.


Snohomish County Parks & Recreation is excited to continue the design for the Phase 3 improvements to complete the gaps in the trail corridor and connect the Whitehorse Trail to the Centennial Trail. Work will include stabilizing the landslide at the west end of the trail, surfacing improvements to the first three miles of the trail, and rerouting the trail around the bank failure near 435th Ave.


The team is now developing construction documents, working towards 60% design, and submitting for permits.
