From Wikipedia: The Salmonberry Trail is a planned rail trail hiking and biking trail through the Oregon Coast Range along the Salmonberry River in northwest Oregon, United States. A portion of the Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad was washed out by a storm in 2007. In 2012, advocacy efforts to build a trail were launched, and in 2018, the Salmonberry Trail Intergovernmental Agency was established to oversee the development of the trail. The trail is currently closed to the public. Excerpt from the Wikipedia article on Salmonberry Trail, available under CC BY-SA 4.0.

Plan your hike

Practical notes

Maps + permits: long-distance trails like this often require permits for through-hiking, backcountry camping, or specific sections (especially in National Parks). Check with the maintaining organisation listed above and the relevant land manager before booking travel.

Water + supplies: water sources vary seasonally on most U.S. trails. Carry a filter and consult current trail-condition reports — through-hiker journals (PCT-L, AT Reddit, etc.) and the maintaining organisation publish regular updates.

When to go: hiking seasons vary widely with elevation, latitude, and snowpack. Through-hikers traditionally start the AT in March-April (Springer northbound) and the PCT in late April (Campo northbound). High-elevation western trails (CDT, JMT, Wonderland) generally aren't passable until July.
