Lord Hill Regional Park

Puget Sound and Islands

updated 3 weeks ago

Lord Hill Regional Park offers a mixed bag of trail conditions. Main trails are generally well-maintained, wide, and suitable for sharing with horses and bikes, as noted on June 25th. However, side trails can be overgrown with significant bug and spiderweb presence, reported on July 10th. Navigation can be challenging due to numerous unmarked junctions, with one report from July 17th detailing getting lost. A recent bear warning sign was posted at the north trailhead around April 29th. Parking availability varies; while scarce on May 10th due to activity, ample parking was noted on April 29th despite good weather. No snow is present.
