Ride Summary:
A fun trail in Northwest Washington outside of Bellingham.

Trail Description:
This is a not too steep ride up but makes for a fast smooth ride down. Or you can do a loop that will allow for more technical stuff. About 10 to 15 miles of trails networked on Chuckanut Mt.

Follow trail head up, it's no brainer. You'll see the PNT on the left as you go, stay right (PNT is ok but it's just a short trip to a lookout) Keep going to the top and you'll see a sign ;left to lilly lake or right to Lizzard Lake. Go left to Lilly Lake and follow it around the back of the lake. You can walk your bike or ride if you can up a trail that will lead you to a great veiw of the bay and the Islands on a clear day. Going back you can follow the trail down to Hwy 11 (Chuckanut Dr.) or go back to the sign at the top. Going to Lizzard Lake has a trail out the back side that allows you a view of Lake Sammish. Or you can go buy Lizzard Lake to the alternate incline trail that drops you at the fire road. Turn right on that road and ride back to the car.

How to get there:
I-5 to exit 240 go east about .2 miles. Look for sign on left that says Blanchard Hill. Take left follow about .3 miles follow Blanchard Hill sign on right. Road turns into gravel, follow about .3 miles to trail head park and go up.

need to go west after get off I-5

Yeah, who ever wrote the directions to this trail left alot to be desired to put it nicely! You do take the 240 exit and head west for about .6 miles and take a left on to Barrel Springs Rd., after this you'll go for about 1 1/2 miles till you see the sign on the right for the Blanchard Mountain trails. I totally got lost trying to follow the other directions! The trails are worth it though when ya find it!! Lots of up hill...but comin' back was worth the pain! And ya I agree...watch out for the horses!!!

Watch for horses. This is a multi use trail You canbe sailing along quietly as you come around a corner There could be a 1000lb horse in the trail I ride mountain bikes Quads And horses All three are great but, each can be a hazard to the other. ride hard have fun, watch for others :-)
