Cycling

The Centennial Trail is a fantastic, well-maintained 30-mile paved recreational pathway spanning from Snohomish to Arlington. Ideal for walking, biking, and hiking, it follows the historic Burlington-Northern railroad line. Established in 1989 during the state's centennial celebration, it has since become a beloved route for over half a million people annually, providing an ideal escape from traffic for recreation and commuting.

I biked along the Centennial Trail from Arlington to Snohomish, but the trail extends a bit further north, with the trailhead on WA-9 halfway between McMurray and Bryant. The Centennial Trail is a multi-use path that functions well as a highway for cycling, with smooth pavement, very gentle gradients along the foothills, and few road crossings. It's both pleasurable to ride and an efficient piece of cycling transportation infrastructure. Suitable for all ages and abilities.

Cycling

This trail is excellent from Snohomish up to Armar. Once it enters Arlington, it is mostly a glorified sidewalk and definitely not fun to get through. But once you do get through Arlington, the last bit north to trail end at the Nakashima barn is excellent as well. Too bad there is that ugly stretch in the middle.
