Tolt-MacDonald Park
Event Overview
King County Parks and Recreation's 574-acre park sits at the confluence of the Snoqualmie and Tolt Rivers in the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley. A 500-foot suspension foot bridge crosses the Snoqualmie River and offers terrific views of the river and Cascade foothills. During the fall, you can observe spawning salmon in the river below and eagles and osprey soaring above.Tolt-MacDonald Park has been and continues to be an important cultural site and a focal point for the Snoqualmie Tribe's restoration program. Tolt-MacDonald is also a favorite destination for exploring trails on foot or mountain bike. Volunteers have helped repair and maintain these well-used trails. During this event, Greenway Trust volunteers will be planting native trees and shrubs along the Tolt River to support restoration efforts led by the Snoqualmie Tribe and King County Parks and Recreation.
