This is easy access, beautifully forested trail that allows you to travel (run, walk, cycle) from Fairhaven to the camping sites of Larrabee State Park. The trail is largely developed on old railway grade and is user friendly!

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 276 reviews
Chuckanut Drive is located between Bow and Fairhaven (Bellingham), WA. Built in 1909, as an original scenic roadway, above Chuckanut Bay.
Reviewed By IntrepidFromDC
Take three extra hours - 1.5 to detour off I5, and drive the beautiful road with amazing views, another 1.5 to experience Chuckanut Manor Seafood and Grill - also a 5! The road is carved out of a steep mountain with amazing water and island views. Drivers keep your eye on the road though because it's a long way down if you run off the road!

10. Lake Padden Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 283 reviews
This 900 acre park offers several miles of walking and biking trails.
Reviewed By Mur64 - Portland, United States
I walked around Lake Padden (2.8 miles) and had a lake view for half of walk and forest view for other part. THe day was windy which gave me nice wind in my hair on the lakeside and then calm on the forest side. The walking path is well done and I saw a few people. I walked it during the day during the middle of the week. I would walk this again on a future visit to Bellingham!
