Confirmed from Lottie Point Loop Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Lottie Point Loop Trail
“Great views of deception pass and West towards the Olympics, start at the beach and walk at low tide, if tide comes in there is a short hike over back to beach and parking area.”
Great views of deception pass and West towards the Olympics, start at the beach and walk at low tide, if tide comes in there is a short hike over back to beach and parking area. Bring comfortable boots. We brought our dog, she loved it. Easy to moderate. We logged 4 miles total back to car.
Beautiful trail. Lots of great views. Not too hard. Some hills, rocky sections.
