Middle Fork Campground Nature Trail

Also known as the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Little Interpretive trail, this short nature trail consists of one main loop — with several side trails — that makes its way through a delightfully mossy forest in the heart of the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Valley. Following the loop counterclockwise, you will soon reach a short series of steps branching off from the trail. This side path makes its way to the shore of the Taylor River. Continuing on the loop, pass a large springboard stump and take time to read the interpretive signs that detail the area’s natural features and human history.

At a fork in the trail, continue left to stay on the main loop. The path to the right leads to yet another fork — the day-use picnic area to the right and the campground road to the left via a series of stairs. Back along the main trail, enjoy the many shades of green along the trail and be on the lookout for a variety of fungi. Soon you will be back at the beginning of the loop.

Seasonal tip: The trail is still accessible even when the Middle Fork Campground is closed for the season. On the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Road, there is a small parking area right across from the campground entrance.
