Hiking ASB Trail

From the eastern end — just north of the Coast Guard station — follow the winding crushed gravel trail roughly east through marine industry, and out onto the ASB and back up the Whatcom Creek Waterway to the current fenced trail end.

Don't miss the small pocket beach on the west side of the trail right as you walk out onto the ASB. Retrace your steps along the same route to complete the walk.

Wheelchair Accessibility

The entire trail is fine crushed gravel, but it is soft in several places with stairs down to the pocket beach.

WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.

Getting There

Once in downtown Bellingham, take Roeder Avenue to Bellwether Way. Turning south on Bellwether Way, the eastern start of the trail is just north of the Coast Guard station with small, green signage noting the trail. Street parking is available along Bellwether Way or at the marina.
