Lowell Riverfront Park Trail
Puget Sound and Islands
updated 1 month ago
The Lowell Riverfront Park Trail has a significant section closed on the northern end due to ongoing upgrades and repairs, with completion estimated for October. The boat launch and dock are also still closed. Road access has several issues: major construction in downtown Lowell requires detours, and a longer-term closure of Lowell-Snohomish River Rd due to bridge replacement necessitates backtracking from the east. Despite these issues, the trail is snow-free, and parking at the main lot is plentiful and free as of September 16. Wildlife sightings include various ducks, kingfishers, flickers, a heron, and frogs, with new beaver evidence noted.
