Middle Fork Snoqualmie River
Snoqualmie Region
As of early May 2026, the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River trail is largely navigable for the first 3-4 miles from the trailhead. Recent reports from May 1st and 2nd indicate blowdowns are present but generally easy to step over or go under in this section.
Beyond mile 3.5-4, blowdowns increase significantly, with some requiring more effort to pass. A specific large blowdown is noted about 1.5-2 miles from the Dutch Miller Gap fork, reported on May 2nd. The river access loop is still heavily impacted by flooding debris and is not recommended, as of April 18th. Creeks are generally easy to cross with dry rocks, according to a May 1st report. Parking lot fullness varies, with reports from April 18th and 4th showing moderate to light usage. No snow or road issues have been reported recently.
