Work Party for National Trails Day @ Lake Whatcom Park with Whatcom Mountain Bike Coalition and Whatcom County
Join Whatcom Land Trust, Whatcom County, and the Whatcom Mountain Bike Coalition (WMBC) in celebrating National Trails Day at Lake Whatcom Park! This well-loved community park offers miles of forested trails, scenic lake views, and important habitat for wildlife. Together, we’ll spend the day caring for the trails that connect people to this special place.
Volunteers will help maintain and improve the trail system through brushing (clearing back overgrown vegetation along the trail corridor), tread work (reshaping and reinforcing the trail surface for better drainage and durability), and general upkeep to support safe access while protecting surrounding habitat. Whether you’re an experienced trail builder or brand new to stewardship, this is a great opportunity to give back, learn new skills, and spend time outdoors with a passionate community.
Tools and lunch are provided. We hope to see you out on the trail!

Site Info: Lake Whatcom Park is a large forested property owned by Whatcom County Parks on the east side of Lake Whatcom. This property, along with Lookout Mountain Forest Preserve, was reconveyed from the Department of Natural Resources in 2014 with the help of Whatcom Land Trust. This large park protects forested and wetland habitats within the Lake Whatcom Watershed, contains miles of trails open to the public, and provides exceptional views of Lake Whatcom.
