Middle Fork Snoqualmie Trailhead

Provides access toMiddle Fork Trail 1003 and Pratt River Trail 1035

The Middle Fork Trailhead is a popular site with two large parking areas. The south end of the lot is intended for stock users; hiker access is from the north end of the lot, directly ahead when entering the lot. There are several individual picnic sites located throughout the site, some with river views. Aside from providing access to the Middle Fork 1003 and Pratt River Trail 1035, which split off in opposite directions just across the bridge from the trailhead, this site also has several hundred yards of accessible walking trail. The Middle Fork Campground is located nearby.
