The first phase of the Olympic Discovery Trail constructed in 1986 was the Waterfront Trail in Port Angeles. This project began at the City Pier on Railroad Avenue and extended eastward to the former mill site of Rayonier, Inc. The initial work on the Waterfront Trail was extended by the City over the next 10 years westward along Marine Drive, through the Daishowa Mill site, to the Coast Guard Station entrance on Ediz Hook. Utilizing the abandoned railroad right-of-way of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad line, County road crews and County-funded contractors extended the trail eastward along the coastline to Morse Creek, through the Morse Creek ravine, to the Deer Park Scenic Gateway – providing 7.7 miles of a scenic and safe alternative trail routing allowing trail users to avoid the higher risk US 101 route. The trail continues off-road 14 miles across the County to Railroad Bridge Park near Sequim. It passes an additional 5.3 miles through Sequim on a separate trail and when complete will traverse an additional eight miles to the Clallam-Jefferson County Line. The Jefferson County portion, when complete, will add 24 miles. Ultimately, the Olympic Discovery Trail will serve as a two-county signed bicycle route running 145 miles from the Port Townsend ferry terminal through Discovery Bay, Gardiner, Blyn, Sequim, Carlsborg, Agnew, and Port Angeles to Forks where extensions of the trail will continue on to LaPush on the Pacific Coast and south of Forks to the south County line. A network of well-marked feeder routes will make this facility accessible to the general population inviting commuting and recreational bicyclists.

Since 1993, Clallam Transit buses have installed bike racks on the front of buses. They accommodate four bicycles at a time to travel any route and allow bus riders to complete their destination by bicycle.

Shoulder width improvements to Old Olympic Highway, from Towne Road to Kendall Road, were a very desired bicycle facility improvement. The completion of the Old Olympic Highway reconstruction projects identified in the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan will expand this bicycle facility.
