Nicknamed “the wilderness in the city," Bridle Trails State Park is a pristine pocket of rainforest in the Seattle metro. The state of Washington purchased nearly 500 acres in 1930 and officially established it as a state park in 1932. It, however, laid largely disused until the late 30s when the Civilian Conservation Corps, operating under President Roosevelt’s New Deal program, cleared out the underbrush and blazed several miles of trails. An extremely horse- and dog-friendly park, Bridle Trails State Park is considered one of the premier equestrian trails in the west.

The town border of Kirkland butts up against Bridle Trails State Park. Just a mile to the northwest, Kirkland is the former home of the Seattle Seahawks, a professional football team, and Costco, a major retailer. Although Kirkland is mainly a bedroom community for Seattle, it hosts several community events throughout the year, including the annual Porsche car show in September. Search for an RV in King County, WA, and prepare to embark on the perfect RV camping retreat.

Getting Outdoors

Although Bridle Trails State Park is a small park with just under 500 acres, the trails are designed to maximize the space, giving hikers, horseback riders, and other adventurers 28 miles of trails to explore. Walking through the dense groves of trees, it’s hard to believe that Bridle Trails State Park is in the middle of crowded suburbs. The sounds of civilization are muted to a whisper. Tall pine trees tower overhead, trailing mosses gracefully swaying in light breezes. The forest floor is blanketed in soft, lush greens of ferns, moss, and other small plants. Shy flowers peek out from underneath fern fronds in springs.

In addition to several miles of trails, there are four arenas, which horseback riders can warm up their horses. The park occasionally hosts equestrian events, some of which include hunter, dressage, obstacle courses on the trails, and also, clinics to improve one’s horsemanship skills. Visitors are welcome to watch these events and cheer the athletes as their horses show off their skill and prowess.

Bring a camera. Keen-eyed hikers will observe a wide variety of small-game wildlife, both above and below. Overhead, songbirds flit from tree to tree, singing merrily to charm potential mates. In the distance, a soft hoot or two might be heard at dusk: rabbits, raccoons, and even foxes gadabout in search of their next supper. Though rarely seen, there are occasional reports of deer and coyotes in the park as they venture westward from the mountains.

Should you be looking for even more room to roam and adventures, head down to Tiger Mountain State Forest, which encompasses over 13,000 acres of wilderness. Although Tiger Mountain State Forest is strictly a day-use park, a wide range of activities is enjoyed by adventurers, including but not limited to hang gliding, paragliding, hiking, and mountain biking.
