Icicle Creek Nature Trail

The Icicle Creek Nature Trail is a one-mile loop trail that runs along a historical length of Icicle Creek near Leavenworth, Washington. This gentle trail can be used by the entire family, and the wide paths and level surfaces make it easy to bring a stroller or wheelchair along with you. Bring your dog along to join you on this nature trail, but be sure to keep them on a leash and always clean up after them. You can complete the perimeter of this trail in under an hour, but if you'd like to walk for longer, there are different paths intersecting the center of the trail that you can also explore.

Icicle Creek Nature Trail is an interpretive trail, and there are various spots to check out along the way. One of the first things you'll notice is a fish ladder. If you're lucky, you might get to spot salmon hopping up the ladder. The fish hatchery is a big draw for people visiting the Icicle Creek Nature Trail, but you'll also go through scenic meadows and a vast forest landscape.

This trail is one of the most pawpular in all of Wenatchee Valley. It was built in 2005 thanks to several community partners, and a group of local youth organizations works hard to maintain the trail. Be sure to respect their efforts and clean up after your furry friend!

Visitors recommend visiting this trail in the spring or early fall, as this tends to be the best time to spot unique birds. For those interested in winter sports, the path is also used as a cross-country skiing trail once it snows.

This easy trail can be completed by anyone in your family, and not only will you get to take in the beautiful surroundings, but on the Icicle Creek Nature Trail, you'll also get to learn more about Washington's special natural habitats.
