Ira Spring Trail - Mason Lake
Snoqualmie Region
As of July 25, 2026, the Ira Spring Trail to Mason Lake is clear of snow. The road to the trailhead is in good condition, with reports of recent repairs addressing potholes. Parking is often full, especially on weekends and by mid-morning, with overflow parking along the road. The trail itself is well-maintained, featuring a gradual incline for the first 1.5 miles followed by a steeper section with rocky terrain and some boulder fields.
Wildflowers are blooming, including twinflower, lupine, paintbrush, and tiger lilies. While most reports indicate no significant bugs at the lake, one mentioned mosquitos in mid-July. Temperatures are generally warm but pleasant. Some hikers encountered bears, though none were aggressive. The lake offers beautiful views and is suitable for swimming, though visitors are encouraged to be mindful of cleanliness.
