The route is designated as a multi-use trail and spans 135 miles (217 km)[1] between Port Townsend and La Push on the Pacific Coast.

As of 2021[update], 90 miles (140 km) of the trail have been developed into a complete path.

The coalition has been working with a number of agencies to build a contiguous trail system on or along the original rail route.

The 2016 effort to reconstruct the Dungeness River Bridge after the wood trestle was destroyed in the spring of 2015, brought together over 1,400 volunteer hours, a large donation from First Federal Community Foundation to the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, which owns and operates the bridge and adjacent Railroad Bridge Park to replace the aging wood deck and other improvement tasks.

[5] Public funding to replace the washed-out trestle with a 750' steel span, improved the quality of the river as part of larger salmon recovery project in the area.
