Woodinville

 

EQUESTRIANS:  Please note that due to the limited size of current parking facilities, horse trailer parking is NOT allowed at the main trailhead lot.  Equestrians are encouraged to visit the new dedicated trailer parking area at Lord Hill Regional Park.

 

Description

793 acres located south of SR-522 on Paradise Lake Road and adjacent to the Snohomish/King County line.  A majority of the site is heavily-timbered and contains a vast wetland area.

Walking and biking trails meander throughout the site.

 

A significant portion of the headwaters of the Bear Creek watershed is located on this site. One of the most productive salmon streams in the Sammamish River System is located here.
