Middle Fork Trailhead
Event Overview
We need your help to keep Washington trails safe and accessible this summer!

The Middle Fork Trail has a number of structures that are in need of repair, including bridges and boardwalks. This event will involve mobilizing materials for repairs to those structures.

Maintaining these structures is critical to keep the trail open for hikers, bikers, and equestrian users, as well as to protect water quality and prevent erosion.

Most of the work is more than 1.5 miles from the trailhead, so come ready to hike!

Difficulty
Moderate to Strenuous
Age Restriction
Ages 14 and up.

For safety, volunteers are required to wear:

  • Long pants (we’ll be working with tools, so no shorts!)

In addition, we recommend that participants bring:

  • Rain gear

Additional Information

The Middle Fork Trailhead is a popular starting point for hiking and outdoor recreation, located in the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Valley in Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. Renowned for its stunning natural beauty, the area features dense forests, rivers, waterfalls, and mountain views.

From the Middle Fork Trailhead one can set out on a number of trails leading to mountain peaks, hidden lakes, or old-growth forests. The Middle Fork Trail crosses a unique arched beam cable-hung bridge, meanders through mature second-growth forests interspersed with old-growth remnants, and extends into the upper Middle Fork Valley and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.


The Greenway recently completed upgrades to this site in 2024 as part of a larger slate of projects aimed at improving sustainable recreation in the Middle Fork. Read more here: Sustainable Trail Updates in the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Valley - Mountains To Sound Greenway Trust
