Trail Alerts

Sequim Bay to Barker Road

Trail Alert Posted: September 3, 2026

The Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) will be closed on Thursday, September 10, 2026 from Sequim Bay State Park to Barker Road. We expect the trail will reopen shortly after with a ridable but imperfect surface until the section is repaved. Repaving to follow as soon as possible. Clallam County was given an opportunity to test a new technique for trail grinding, but timelines are tight.

We apologize for any inconvenience and will remove this alert once the work is completed or there are any updates.
