Middle Fork Snoqualmie River
Snoqualmie Region
As of early March 2026, the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River trail is experiencing significant mud and water. Recent reports from March 8th describe the trail as the "wettest/muddiest" ever seen, with streams running down it and puddles deep enough to submerge boots. The washout at mile 3 is impassable due to high, fast water. While some reports from late February and early March indicated excellent or good conditions with minimal obstacles, the most recent accounts highlight severe wetness. The road to the trailhead remains open but is down to one lane in sections due to washouts, requiring extra time for travel. Parking is generally available. Earlier reports in January noted ice and blowdowns, with microspikes recommended, but these conditions appear to have subsided.

Arrived around 10 am and walked the trail until it wound away from the river and toward the cliffs. There is a tree down that you might have to duck under.
