The Old Village trail starts in the corner of Maritime Heritage Park near the fish hatchery and leads you northwest through the Lettered Streets neighborhood. The trail itself is paved but closed to cars offering an alternative to sidewalks as you walk through the city.
Just over halfway down the trail, about 0.25 miles into the walk, the trail shifts roughly one city block to the right. Follow the sidewalk to your right before crossing H Street and rejoining the pedestrian and bike path on the other side to finish your walk to Elizabeth Park.
While scenery on the trail is limited to residential and commercial buildings and fairly common city landscaping scenes, there are several historic locations that you’ll pass as you walk including the Pickett House, the oldest house in the city of Bellingham.
