Park & Trail Visitation
Whatcom County Parks collects and reports visitation data on a monthly basis at many of our popular parks and trails. Quantifying the number of users at a park or on a trail helps us to better understand the demand for facilities and maintenance needs. These visitor counts are derived from various trail and car counters and methodology, and do not represent an exact number.
