Chuckanut Drive

Burlington, WA

Scenic 19-mile coastal climb from Burlington through forest and farmland to Fairhaven with Puget Sound views.

19Miles
Chuckanut Drive (WA Route 11) runs 19 miles from Burlington north to Fairhaven, starting as flat farmland where hang-gliders can be seen descending from Blancard Mountain. After the mountain base, the landscape transitions through cascading waterfalls and beautiful forest before reaching dramatic views of Puget Sound, islands, and boats. The route features flat farm roads initially, then twisting mountain turns as it climbs, offering canyon-road-style riding with good pavement quality. Riders should watch for rock slides and road-cutting drivers, particularly near a state patrol station at the I-5 intersection. Fairhaven offers shopping and dining at the route's end.
