Ebey Waterfront Trail

Hop on a paved path starting in downtown Marysville at the Ebey Waterfront Park. The trail takes you a couple of miles into the Qwuloolt Estuary. A favorite spot for birdwatchers, the Ebey Waterfront Trail also affords an up-close look at marine life, fish, otters, and other estuary creatures. On a clear day, you can see Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains. Scenic!

This is the path to take for stunning views of the Olympic Mountain range across Puget Sound. This is a shorter walking trail south into the estuary. From Olympic View, you can also walk north to Harborview Park, which is as delightful as it sounds.

Bayview Trail

Spanning the east Marysville foothills, this walk features panoramic views of the city of Marysville, Puget Sound in the Salish Sea, and the Marysville skyline as glimpsed from the south. The route meanders into a wooded area to the north before connecting to the regional Centennial Trail.

The Centennial Trail is a 30-mile route that’s favored by locals for its bikeability and walkability. The Centennial Trail will connect you to the nearby cities of Arlington and Snohomish.
