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

Snohomish County Parks & Recreation is eager to share the conceptual designs for Phase 3 of the Whitehorse Trail with you and gather your feedback. The Phase 3 improvements will 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 trail, and rerouting the trail around the bank failure near 435th Ave.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our public meeting on May 4th! If you were unable to attend, a copy of the presentation slides has been added under the Documents tab.

A short online survey will also run from May 4, 2023, through May 21, 2023, if you are unable to attend the meeting or prefer to provide feedback via other methods. Take the survey by clicking this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NX8QP7K
