About This Trail

Imported description

We have seen that users are reporting that there is logging taking place in this area. Some parts of the park may be affected. A favorite mountain biking area is the three miles of forested and riverside trails. The park's main area is on the east side of the river near the suspension bridge. To get to the Ames Lake Forest, you can take the trail from the park, as well as the network of single track trails. There is a bike tour from the park along the south fork of the Snoqualmie Valley Trail to farmland and forests.
