Olympic Discovery

Info

The Olympic Discovery Trail is a route from Port Townsend all the way to the Pacific Coast at La Push. It consists, in parts, of paved trail, unpaved gravel road, and unpaved singletrack trail.

The section most of interest to mountain bikers is the "Adventure Route" section south of the town of Joyce, starting near the west side of Port Angeles and going to Lake Crescent. The Adventure Route is a mix of gravel road and smooth, wide singletrack trail. The total distance is about 25 miles.

The Spruce Railroad Trail is an 8 mile stretch alogn Lake Crescent that is worth the stop, even if your walking.

They're actively working on connecting the rest of the trail. Everything east of Port Angeles is paved. A new paved section from Port Angeles to Elwha is opening in 2011. The dirt and fire road portion is south of the town of Joyce and is approx 25 miles. It connects with the Spruce Railroad Trail in Olympic National Park. Consider helping the volunteers maintain it through Sound Bikes & Kayak - volunteer or go to one of their community fundraiser events.
