I hiked this trail with some family members on a Thursday. The parking lot was mostly empty at 10am when I arrived. The trail is relatively flat and the large bridge were in great condition. We hiked 3.5 miles out on the trail.

Throughout the hike we saw a variety of wildflowers, thimble berries, and salmon berries! They were delicious. Most of the creeks we passed were dry but there is a water source at least once a mile. All the small bridges were in good condition minus one which was passable but had damage. After about 1.5 miles the trail gets a bit overgrown and we had to walk through a lot of bushes every quarter mile or so. We ended up eating along the river about 3 miles down the trail.

The hike was very quiet and peaceful and we mostly heard birds and the occasional sound of the river. We heard swainson's thrush, varied thrush, american robins, chestnut chickadees, and other birds.

The first mile the trail was in good shape, but after that you will encounter sections of overgrowth. We ended up turning around at the 2.5 mile mark. There are a few nice spots along the river for a picnic lunch.

Our group of Mountaineers knocked out a 6ish mile hike along the Middle Fork Snoqualmie trail this morning! It was a very warm day, even starting at 8am. The trail is in good condition, but there were several patches of overgrown berries and other prickly things, as well as a broken section of bridge/puncheon (that is still pretty solid). That said, there were tons of berries, particularly salmon berries! I was surprised that we didn't really see anyone else on the first half of the hike, but we did see a about 20 people on the way out. The water level is the river is fairly low which was perfect a wade and a picnic following our hike! Cheers to a great summer hike!

Hiked the magical middle fork today. Only about 10 cars in the parking lot at 11:00am. Only saw 5 people all day. Trail is in great shape, just a little overgrown in places. Berries everywhere! Creeks are dry. We used the river access trail at about 4 miles and found a nice place in the shade on the river bank. Soaked our feet and had lunch. It was definitely a warm day! Always a beautiful adventure. Total mileage was around 8 miles today.

I had a wonderful time hiking and mountain biking the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Trail.  Unfortunately I left my black Osprey pack in the parking area, at the  junction of NF 5600 and NF 110 - ie the Garfield Ledges Picnic area. It is past the campground. 

the pack  had jacket, and bike stuff - pump, tools, etc. 

$50.00 reward.
