Discovery Trail

Tourist attraction Ecological park

👍👍 Great walking trail, you can often see bald eagles and sometimes deer. Park at the waste treatment plant marked for discovery trail parking. Continue on foot down Goodrich Road to the end of the road. Walk around the gate on the right side and stick to the path and you are on the Discovery Trail. If... People often mention trail,

    Great walking trail, you can often see bald eagles and sometimes deer. Park at the waste treatment plant marked for discovery trail parking. Continue on foot down Goodrich Road to the end of the road. Walk around the gate on the right side and stick to the path and you are on the Discovery Trail. If you take a left at the T you will find a swimming hole (during the summer months) at the end of the trail.

    Nice little family walk along the river. The map at the beginning was helpful. We parked at the water waste treatment center and walked a short distance to the head of the trail. It's a dog friendly trail with doggy poop bags and trash can available.

    Easy to access with well marked parking lot. Restrooms are at the parking area. Another half mile walk down to the trail start at the barn. There's a bald eagle pair that nests every year on the right / north trail river bend You can go left or right about one mile each way. This is a slow pedestrian traffic area.

    Love this little hidden trail!!! Breeding pair of bald eagles and so much nature and farmland to enjoy. It's great for a nature hike with the kids and pets

    Good trail. Full of grass. No good access to river. Trail runs parallel to Chehalis River.

    I can only give it three stars because we only did half on the trail. The signage from the parking lot to the trail is nonexistent, but we accidently found the trail. Only did the left fork which was OK, but not really along the river. It was in the field but it was easy and pretty. We plan to do the rest of the hike later this summer and I'll update this if it is warranted. A good hike if you've got little kids or are feeling lazy.
