Klickitat State Park Trail Description

Pump up your bike tires, lace up your hiking boots and set out on Washington's southernmost rail-trail. The Klickitat Trail runs 31 miles through stunning Columbia River Gorge country between Lyle and the Goldendale plateau. As it leaves the Columbia to follow the Klickitat River, the gentle trail leads cyclists, hikers, birders and, in some places, equestrians through dramatic Swale Canyon. The canyon, carpeted with desert parsley, has oak and pine forests, and in spring, the hillsides bloom with lupine and balsamroot. Several spots along bubbling Swale Creek make idyllic lunch stops.
