Lord Hill Regional Park

Puget Sound and Islands

updated 2 weeks ago

Lord Hill Regional Park offers a pleasant autumn experience with signs of changing foliage as of September 7. The trails are generally in good condition, with recent maintenance noted on the Loren Ridge and Wandering trails. While most streams are dry, the park remains a gem for its quiet corners, towering trees, and extensive trail network, though navigating can be tricky due to unmarked junctions. Be aware that some trails can be overgrown, and bugs were reported as an annoyance on August 8 and June 25. The parking lot can get busy, but crowds thin out on the trails.
