Winter Information

The Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, in partnership with Washington State Parks, will operate a Sno-Park at the Annette Lake trailhead. The facility will provide parking for 40 vehicles, a restroom, and a 2-mile round trip marked snowshoe route. For more information, please visit Washington State Park's website.

The mountain environment along I-90 and beyond the marked snowshoe route is dynamic and hazardous, with avalanche terrain, unmarked cliffs, unsafe winter creek crossings, snow immersion and suffocation risks, and other mountain hazards.

Before traveling to Annette Lake Sno-Park, check road conditions at Washington Department of Transportation website. Chains are required for winter access to Annette Lake via I-90. Be prepared for extreme weather conditions.

Overnight parking is not allowed, and a valid Washington State Sno-Park Pass is required.

Please stay safe and enjoy your public lands respectfully!
