• Walking: Only want to enjoy the trail near Discovery Bay? Hop on at West Unica Road and Olympic Highway, WA-101 and head west for the great water views. This portion of the trail is paved, away from the road, and can be enjoyed by bicyclists, joggers, roller bladers, walkers, and dogs (with their masters, of course.) Park at Discovery Railroad Park, or take the Jefferson County Bus 8. 

Discovery Bay Railroad Park: On the southwest side of Discovery Bay, on Olympic Highway, WA-101, sits the Discovery Bay Railroad Park.
