Tiger Mountain State Forest, 13,500 acres of conserved forests, recreation areas and state trust lands managed as working forests, encompasses some of the state's most heavily-used trails. Greenway environmental education field study trips for school kids take place in the woods near Tradition Lake. This heavily forested foothill of the Cascades was used by early settlers for mining and timber harvest.

High Point Trailhead
From I-90 exit 20, head south and immediately west to the High Point hiking trailhead. (The Around the Lake Trail is wheelchair-accessible for 1/2 mile.)

Tiger Summit Trailhead
Or, take I-90 to Highway 18 at exit 25, and head south for 4 miles to the Tiger Summit Trailhead on the right for hiking, biking and equestrian trails.

Poo Poo Point
For a steep hiking trail up to a hanggliding and paragliding launch, visit Poo Poo Point, so named after the steam whistles from logging trains. From I-90 exit 17, head south on Front Street, which turns into Issaquah-Hobart Road. Continue south to the trailhead parking lot on the left.
