Equestrians, pedestrians, cyclists and outdoor recreationists are all welcome on the Chelatchie Prairie Rail Trail.

This one-mile paved section is only the beginning of what is planned to be 33 miles of multiuse trail paralleling the Chelatchie Prairie Railroad owned by Clark County.

The trail starts at the entrance road inside Battle Ground Lake State Park and runs southwest along railroad. There are plans to continue the trail all the way to Fairgrounds Park in the future.

The Chelatchie Prairie Rail Trail is paved, ADA-accessible and allows leashed dogs to join in on the fun. A Discover Pass is required if you plan to park in the parking lot at Battle Ground Lake State Park. For your safety and others, please stay off the railroad tracks and stay on the trail.
