The Peninsula Trail Coalition first developed the plan for this trail in 1988; it followed an abandoned railroad line on the Olympic Peninsula between Sequim, WA and to Port Townshend, WA. (In 2007, an extra section of the trail was projected to stretch to La Push, WA, on the Pacific Coast.) Volunteers from local groups and inmates from the Clallam County Corrections Facility completed work on the trail. The trail required the collaboration of many groups, including Jefferson and Clallam Counties, the cities of Port Townshend, Sequim, Port Angeles, and Forks), four smaller towns, Gardiner, Carlsborg, Joyce, and Discovery Bay), three lumber companies, the Federal Highway Administration, State of Washington Department of Natural Resources, the State of Washington Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation, as well as 50 local landowners. As of 06/2007, the eastern trailhead began two miles east of Sequim, WA, and the western 2.5 miles south of State of Washington Route 112 on the Joyce-Piedmont Road.
