Trails are in good condition with a little mud from recent rainfall. We saw about 100 volunteers working on many trails in the park. In recent years mountain bikers have created new trails that are great for hiking on also. The overall mileage of trails in the park has almost doubled because of the added trails. We hiked 6 miles today. We brought first time hikers that want to go again!

Beautiful day for a hike. When I arrived at the trail head there were 2 cars already there, however I only saw one person on the trail and one horse and rider. The horse had sleigh bells on its saddle and I think that was a great idea because I heard the horse way before I saw it. This set of trails offers many different loops off the main trail and most are labeled and there are maps throughout. Be prepared to run into the occasional water and mud on trail as well as the occasional manure pile. But all in all, great trail and great day!

Our first trip out as a family and it went well. I agree with some earlier posts that it was a little tricky to get around some of the muddy spots on main trails. All together it was enjoyable for my entire family age 4 year old boy up to my wife and I.

Still pretty muddy on the Temple Pond path. Sinkholes up to the top of my boots. Great day for a hike and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I decided to try a "bottom to top" loop route at Lord Hill today. From the Main Trail, I descended to the Snohomish River via the River Trail. I then came back via the River Trail Cutoff to the Pipeline Trail and followed that to the Pipeline Trail Cutoff and the viewpoint at 625 feet above sea level. Along the way, I took the short Temple Pond viewpoint trail. I figure the route is around 6 miles or so. Most of the trails are in good shape right now but there is standing water and mud in several places. A good pair of boots or shoes you don't mind getting muddy are advised for these areas. There are also a number of spur trails popping up throughout the park. These trails are signed for hiking but are not on any of the "official" maps. I found one of these spur trails off of the Main Trail and followed it to an intersection with the River Trail. I wouldn't attempt these trails unless you have a map of the park with you as it is easy to get sidetracked without a map.
