Pratt River Bar

This roadside trailhead on the Middle Fork Road near North Bend accesses a short trail, about a quarter of a mile, through the woods to the gravel river bar along the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Wild and Scenic River. Not to be confused with the Pratt River Trail, which is accessed further up the road near from the Middle Fork Trailhead, the official name of this path is the Pratt Gravel Bar Trail 1035.2. There is a small parking area for several vehicles along the east side of the road. A vault toilet is located on the west side of the road, so take care while crossing.
