Trail Access Points

THE ROUTELyle - State Road 14Park across SR14 from Greg Colt Realty at the west end of town. From the trailhead, proceednorth parallel to SR142. At 0.9 miles North of Lyle, the Trail accesses a public park.

Fisher Hill Bridge1.6 miles north of Lyle on SR142 following the Klickitat River. Please do not interfere with anytribal fishing. Stay on the Trail.

PittYou can park across the street from the row of houses. Going west, pass through or around thedouble gates to access the Trail. Going northeast, simply walk the gravel road base just southof the highway for 100 yards until the Trail curves left under the cliff.

KlickitatThe community park abuts the trail one block south and across SR142 from the gas station. It isthe location of the former railroad station in town. Going south from here is the preferredoption. The Trail north is in poor condition.

WahkiacusApproximately 3 miles north of Klickitat, along SR142, turn right and take the Horseshoe Bend Rdand cross the Klickitat River bridge. Follow the road a few hundred yards east until it intersectswith Schilling Rd. Turn right onto Schilling Rd - the parking area is on the immediate right. Thereis a portable toilet located in the parking area. Going west toward Klickitat is a pretty threemile hike along the river with no houses or roads. You will then encounter the washed-outtrestle and need to return the same way. Bicyclists passing through from Swale Canyon shouldturn north at this parking lot, proceed a few yards to Horseshoe Bend Road, turn left and crossthe bridge over the Klickitat River. Then turn left again onto paved SR142 and reconnect withthe Trail three miles later in the town of Klickitat. Going east from Wahkiacus is scenic and veryeasy walking. A very pleasant in and out walk is a great option here. It is the lower entranceto Swale Canyon.

Harms RoadGet on the Centerville Highway from Lyle by turning north on Glenwood Avenue between thegas station and cafe ½ mile east of the Klickitat River Bridge. Travel approximately 15 milesnortheast from Lyle. Look on the left for Harms Rd. This gravel county road heads north and issigned. Go north for ½ mile, cross the Swale Creek Bridge, and park on the shoulder of thecounty road. Going west from here leads you into the beautiful Swale Canyon. Due to itsremoteness and lack of communication services, it is not recommended to travel this sectionof trail alone. Cell phones do not work in this area. Going east from here is pleasant and only2 miles before the end of the Trail at Uecker Rd. There is no toilet here from July1 - October1(approximately).
