The Nooksack Loop Trail is a PROPOSED trail. As we
work toward making it a reality, it is important to
remember that it currently consists mainly of
private property. We ask all our supporters to join
us in pledging to maintain the privacy of our
neighbors in Whatcom County. Please, don't
trespass!
