Bridle Trails State Park

A 482-acre urban forest with 28 miles of flat trails and short loops of 1 to 3.5 miles that make for an easy and convenient outing. This popular urban forest between Bellevue and Kirkland is a respite from city life where hikers and equestrians can enjoy shady, meandering trails year-round. Dogs on leashes are allowed.
