The Interurban Trail is a rail trail in Whatcom County, Washington. It runs {{convert|6.6|mi|km}}[1] between Fairhaven (10th St. and Donovan Ave., {{nowrap|{{coord|48.71758|-122.50452|format=dms|type:landmark_region:US-WA|display=inline|name=Fairhaven trailhead}}}}) and Larrabee State Park {{nowrap|({{coord|48.64764|-122.48673|format=dms|type:landmark_region:US-WA|display=inline|name=Larrabee State Park trailhead}})}} in the Bellingham area.[2] Popular with hikers and bicycles, the trail runs parallel to Chuckanut Drive though the Chuckanut Mountains. The trail follows the shoreline of the Salish Sea and Puget Sound, with ample views of Bellingham Bay, the Lummi Peninsula, Portage Island, Lummi Island, Chuckanut Bay and the distant San Juan Islands.[3] The trail can be accessed in the north in downtown Fairhaven, connecting to Boulevard Park and downtown Bellingham to Fairhaven Park, Arroyo Park, and Teddy Bear Cove Park for foot and bicycle traffic. Additional access includes North Chuckanut Mountain Trailhead, Hiline Road, Fragrance Lake Trailhead, and Clayton Beach Trailhead. The trail is constructed on the bed of the old Bellingham & Skagit Interurban Railway, an electric railway line that connected Whatcom and Skagit counties from 1912 to 1930.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Interurban Trail|url=https://www.cob.org/documents/parks/parks-trails/trail-guide/interurban.pdf|publisher=City of Bellingham}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Interurban Trail|url=http://www.whatcomcounty.us/2069/Interurban-Trail|website=Whatcom County Parks & Rec|accessdate=9 May 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Berry|first1=Glen|title=Interurban Trail|url=http://whatcom.kulshan.com/Washington/Whatcom%20County/Western%20Whatcom%20County/Bellingham/Chuckanut%20Drive/Outdoors/Interurban%20Trail.htm|website=kulshan.com|accessdate=10 May 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Dougherty|first1=Phil|title=Bellingham and Skagit Interurban Railway|url=http://www.historylink.org/File/10904|website=HistoryLink.org Essay 10904|publisher=HistoryLink.org|accessdate=9 May 2017|date=7 July 2014}} External links{{GeoGroup}}
