Confirmed from Tommy Thompson Trail, MARCH'S POINT RD'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.
Scenic pedestrian trail featuring beautiful views of the ocean and a bridge across a sound.
What runners say about Tommy Thompson Trail, MARCH'S POINT RD
“Beautiful walkway, but kind of ends abruptly at a road which requires you to turn around.”
First of all, this is a highly recommended place, and it's a great place to walk or ride a bike. I explored this place on foot first, and then I rode a bicycle. I think it's even better for cycling, but the trail is connected to the downtown of Anacortes, so it's the best trail to watch the sunrise in the early…
Unique place to observe God's creation and man's innovation. The bridge with continues paved path are a wonderful route for an early sunrise or sunset walk. Traffic noise can be heard but the nature sounds are distinct and bring a sense of calm! Depending on the breeze, refinery odor is present, but not overwhelming.
I love this trails, yes I know I say that a lot but it is true. Clementine (my dog) and I like to walk, instead of me going to the gym we try and find a trail that is easy on her paws and open for my safety and hers.
First time on this trail with my dog. Gorgeous Spring Day. We hiked the entire trails and hiked to downtown Anacortes to Cap Sante. We did about 7 miles. Amazing water views and Mount Baker in the distance. This place is great for all kinds, walking/hiking, skating, biking.
Trail conditions & character
“It's easy to enjoy the view and go, and the walking path with the dogs is a paved road, so I don't think it's very good, but it's the best pleasure to walk together.”
