Discovery Trail, Washington, United States
4.5 (98 reviews) Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #2 in Long Beach Hiking Trails
Great for walks with a stroller or bike!
We have an infant and finding nature walks that are stroller friendly are tough. This trail was paved and wide and perfect for a walk with the stroller! We walked several miles without having to worry about picking up the stroller over terrain. Would highly recommend the trail!

"Discovery Trail" - Bike & Pedestrian Access, Ilwaco to Longbeach WA - Pacific Ocean Front
Discovery Trail (paved) along the Pacific Ocean Front from Longbeach, WA (North) to Ilwaco, WA (South), limited to bicycles, pedestrains/strollers, dog/pet walks. No horses or motor vechicles allowed. The Discovery Trail goes by Cape Disappointment State Park and two Lighthouses near there. On May 16, 1898, the North Head Lighthouse was put into service as the primary navigation aid at the mouth of the Columbia River. The Cape Disappointment Lighthouse had served this function since October 15, 1856; however, ships continued to run aground at the "Graveyard of the Pacific." AWESOME FUN TRAIL for a bike ride on a fair weather (sunny) day. The area is known for FOG & Cold Rainy Weather (which contributed to a number of shipwrecks over the last 165 years). Discovery Trail is accessible from a number of locations, including 1000 Trails RV (TTRV) Longbeach Campground in Seaview, WA.

Miles of ocean, sand, air, and land
Breath the moist ocean breeze, watch the kites and birds flying the shoreline, listen to the swan geese as they navigate the coastline north. Watch the bald eagles hunting. LIsten to the shoreline conversations of the water and stones. The path, an open air journey to self discovery in nature.
