Lake padden loop, and backtrails (Excellent for dogs, no leashes needed in backtrails)
Inter-urban trail (From Larrabee State Park to Boulevard park and downtown Bellingham)
The arboretum trail between Sehome High school and WWU, the little road right next to the dorm building, with the loading dock on your right.
All the trails up at Artist point, past Mt baker ski area.
Never done this one, but there's some other bird sanctuary or something off Lake Louise Rd. on your way to Sudden Valley.
Connelly Creek trail, very short, not terribly interesting, but not that many people.
Umm...
Oh the train tracks, starting from Post Point, down by the ferry terminal, and walking up them a ways is always fun.
I'm out of ones I can remember, but there you go.

I pulled in there the other day to do a quick smoke, but there was this undercover cop car just chilling at the road right by the gate, and I saw his uniform so I just parked, and he pulled away the other direction, but I was like, "Fuck this" so I went and smoked on my porch.

haneggan pass, right after the DOT station on 542 take the dirt road up and park the views from that trail are amazing. Ruth Mt and all the glaciers just pop on a sunny day. also pine and cedar lakes trails off of chuckanut, kindsa steep but some amazing views of the bay and very little traffic
