 Trails: Taking the Path to a Healthier You
Trails provide people in Washington with a
variety of opportunities to improve their health through
physical activity. Trails can be found everywhere, from national
and state parks to urban areas. And, especially in Washington,
trails are more than walking.
Washington State Parks and other
organizations support water trails, such as the Cascadia Marine
Trail which stretches for 140 miles from South Puget Sound
(Olympia) to the Canadian border with primitive campgrounds
along the way for people traveling the trail in kayaks, canoes,
and sailboats. Trails provide a wide variety of ways to be
physically active and have fun.
Trails for Health
(External Site) brochures in English and Spanish are
