Divide Trail North

Divide Trail North is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trail is about 1.2 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 519 feet, and it starts at roughly 620 feet, rising to a high point of 788 feet before returning to the starting level. The steepest stretch comes early on, around 0.17 miles from the start, where the grade reaches about 19 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Olympia show July and August highs around 78°F with only about five wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the mid-40s and rain on roughly 20 days a month. That station sits about 600 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. The trail sits close to several other mountain biking options. Rock Candy East and Rock Candy are each about 0.1 miles away, and B-7700 is about half a mile off. For paddling, North Fork Porter Creek is about 5 miles away.
