ADA Trails

Snohomish County Parks has 100's of miles of trails and many of them can be accessed by people with special needs. The most popular are the Centennial Trail, Whitehorse Trail, and Interurban Trail. All sections of the Centennial and Interurban Trails are paved. However, the Interurban Trail does not have designated trailheads with available parking (it only has access points). The majority of the Whitehorse Trail is packed gravel which is suitable for wheelchairs. The paved sections of the Whitehorse Trail are at Cicero and the SR 530 Slide Memorial. Unfortunately, parking at Cicero does not have wheelchair access to the trail and parking at the memorial will not be available until the rest of the facility is completed by the fall of 2023.

At this time, we recommend the Centennial Trail for great ADA access. The Machias Trailhead has restrooms while all other trailheads utilize ADA compliant Sanicans. Our trailhead recommendations are listed below from north to south. Trailhead numbers match those on the Centennial Trail map.

Centennial Trail - Lake Cassidy Trailhead #5

Technically a park, Lake Cassidy serves primarily as a point-of-interest and trailhead for the Centennial Trail. In addition to a dock that offers fishing and views of the lake, the site provides picnic tables, a Sanican, interpretive kiosk, and a 2-stall parking lot (both ADA spaces). Getting to the trail is by way of a paved, sloped path. Getting to the trailhead is by a gated service road which can be a little tricky to find. Driving directions and links can be found under the Lake Cassidy section of our CT Trailheads page. To apply for the gate access code, click here.
