Horseshoe Bend Trail access

Horseshoe Bend Trail access provides easy year-round access to the North Fork Nooksack River via a 1. 5-mile out-and-back trail near Glacier, WA, featuring designated parking and a mostly gentle riverside path suitable for families.

The trail offers excellent viewing of the river's power as it crashes through a narrow gorge with house-sized boulders, making it ideal for paddlers scouting rapids or watching kayakers and rafters navigate the whitewater.

A Northwest Forest Pass is required for access, and the first third of the trail is wheelchair-accessible with a ramp and packed dirt surface.
