Press Release: Olympic Discovery Trail Closure

Port Angeles, WA—A portion of the Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) has been temporarily closed from the Rayonier Mill site to the Morse Creek Trestle (Four Seasons Ranch) due to a landslide event that occurred on March 24th, 2026. As of now, this section remains unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists to use.

The City is also working on a new ODT Maintenance Contract which will be in place by end of April. Until that time, City of Port Angeles Parks and Recreation crew along with the help of Peninsula Trails Coalition will continue to monitor and work within our capacity to make obstacles, at minimum, passable on foot once the weather subsides.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation. The City is working to address this issue as quickly as possible; updates will be posted to the City’s website and Facebook page as soon as they are available.
