Bridle Trails State Park
Puget Sound and Islands
updated 1 week ago
Bridle Trails State Park currently offers snow-free conditions with trails in good shape, though a few fallen limbs were noted as of October 28. The main trails are wide dirt double tracks, interspersed with smaller, winding single-track trails. Parking at the main lot is generally plentiful but requires a Discover Pass, and restrooms are open and clean. While road noise from nearby freeways is present, it is less noticeable in the park's eastern sections. The park offers a pleasant autumn walk with lingering fall color on maple trees and numerous mushrooms appearing on the forest floor as of October 28.
