Lord Hill Regional Park
Puget Sound and Islands
Lord Hill Regional Park is experiencing very muddy conditions across many trails, particularly on lower sections. Boots are essential, as it's difficult to navigate around the mud, though some reports suggest dry dirt paths in higher or more open areas.
Several trails remain closed for restoration, including the upper lot trail and the Red Barn trail. A tree is down on the Start Up trail, requiring a detour. Some trail signage is limited, especially in the southern sections, making a park map advisable.
Parking is generally available at both the North and South trailheads, with facilities like portapotties reported as open and stocked. Wildlife sightings, including deer, geese, ducks, and woodpeckers, are common.
