What to expect on Dungeness River & Bridge – Sequim Bay State Park loop from Sequim
Expect a rich tapestry of scenery as you navigate this loop, largely utilizing sections of the renowned Olympic Discovery Trail. You'll cycle along mostly paved surfaces, enjoying expansive waterfront views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Sequim Bay, before heading inland through dense forests and open farmlands. A highlight is crossing the historic Railroad Bridge over the Dungeness River, where you might spot seasonal salmon spawning and enjoy excellent birdwatching, making it a great route for wildlife spotting. While much of the trail is paved, some segments might be unpaved, requiring you to walk your bike. This route demands very good fitness, but the diverse landscapes and scenic viewpoints are well worth the effort.
Planning your visit
The region benefits from the "Olympic rain shadow," meaning you'll often find drier and sunnier conditions compared to other parts of the Pacific Northwest, making for pleasant riding. Sequim Bay State Park offers extensive amenities, including camping options, and the Dungeness River Nature Center near the Railroad Bridge provides restrooms and even a bike repair stand. While the full Dungeness River Bridge Sequim Bay loop cycling distance is substantial, many segments of the Olympic Discovery Trail within this loop are suitable for easier, flatter rides if you prefer a shorter outing.
