You can also enjoy leisurely horseback rides here. It can be pretty muddy here in January which makes the path pretty slick so be careful. Something you can catch glimpses of animals. What a park! Open for walkers, runners, bikes and horses. I just wish the picked up the poop. The foliage is lush and green and the are clean and wide. In the spring they weren’t too wet and seemed to drain well. There are good signs for and maps all around. There is parking as well with a step at the trailhead for equestrians (and fun photos). regional park! Whipple Creek is a beautifully maintained trail. It's conveniently located 5-10 minutes west of the I5, but is so secluded by hills and towering trees you wouldn't be able to tell! This is accessible to hikers, mountain bikers, leashed dogs, and hourse riders- watch out for poop on the trail. The is well maintained and features multiple bridges and an old mill that is now boarder up. The Creek on the backside if the is not directly off the except for one spot. But their are plenty unmarked and well-walked that lead down to it. The has many markers along the way so it is very easily maneuvered. You could spend quite a while here exploring all the different trails. Update (9/7/23): I had to go back here today and venture out further. I hiked many new awesome unspoiled of exceptional beauty, but still have more to go. With it starting to get dark sooner, I had to head back to the parking lot, even though I wanted to keep going. Like last time, I enjoyed every second of my time here. Here is my original review from June: Wow!! What fun I had today! I had no idea that these were so close! Being my first time here; completely unfamiliar with the territory, I kept it simple, and just did a 3 mile this time, but even with that, it felt like I was miles into a dense wooded forest! All I could hear was the wind rustling through the trees, and a creek flowing through a nearby ravine. The are very clean and extremely well maintained. They are and dog friendly as well. There is a map showing 'you are here' often, so you don't have to worry about getting lost as long as you stay on the actual trails. It was not crowded at all, considering it was a sunny Sunday afternoon, making for a peaceful and pleasant experience. I will add more photos as I continue to explore this park; I have a feeling it is breathtakingly year round with the change of seasons. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has not been here. If being outdoors in nature is your thing, as it is for most Pacific Northwest folk, you'll love this place! Happy hiking, my fellow Washingtonians! 🌲 easy trails. It makes for very accessible weekday hikes. Shaded and forest'y and still in the winter. It's a for strolling around in the woods for an hour or so. Lots of birds seem to enjoy the area. I wish the and bikers could read the restriction signs. They haven't wrecked all the restricted trails, but enough to be frustrating Did a small and it was beautiful. Not to hard on my bad knee and enjoyed the fresh air. We when out for a hike🚶, got lost a bit and saw some 🐎 along the way. The are a little difficult at times but moderate in the grand scheme. We enjoyed our time. We got there around 5 so the sun was hitting the hillside so beautifully. Would recommend anyone to take a look if your wanting some fun. Beware of 🐎. Such large animals. local park, has some nice and small wooden bridges that cross the creek itself. I've seen people riding their on the as well. It's good for maybe a few hours or half day visit. Love all the trails. *Edit lowered my stars. Increase in feces everywhere even on the smaller foot traffic only path. There are also moutain bikes on the foot traffic only. No longer peaceful. Old review Peaceful local trail, when you only have time for a quick walk but want to feel far away. My only complain it the large amounts feces that irresponsible riders leave. Super pretty moderate hike. There are some areas that get pretty steep but for the most part is manageable! The did have some poop in random spots but other than that was pretty well maintained. Got there a little after 9 am on a Saturday and the parking was but when I was leaving around 10:45 it was full! forest of maples, cedars, sword ferns with nice trails. Mixed use hiker, bikes, and equestrians. Map at start and names at forks. Port-a -potty. Absolutely breathtaking! A way to get into nature close to town and it’s an easily accessible for all skill levels! Such a nice place to walk and you get to see if your lucky. It's beautiful. A place for walks and hikes. It's also a place to take kids and dogs, and the kids loved seeing the on the trails! - scenery. I just wish the owners would push their poo off of the trail, and that bikers would ring their bells so that walkers would know that they are behind them. Well marked and maintained. Whipple Creek is a hidden gem of a forest trail. There are many crisscrossing pathways, allowing one to create their own unique experience on every visit. The are clearly marked with a number of side and unmarked snaking through the woods for the more adventurous. It can be quite muddy when rainy, and there are several steep areas which can make some routes more challenging, although the atmosphere and incredibly pleasant sights more then make up for any of these minor inconveniences. In all, I would greatly recommend checking this place out, as it is such an utterly wonderful place that stands out over any other I’ve ever visited. Good walk in the woods! You don't feel like you're in town which is super nice to get away for a few hours. It is dog friendly. Will do this over and over. Beautiful, peaceful with lots of to explore. One of my favorite places to with my dogs. More times than not you will come across people riding their which might spook dogs. The side get pretty muddy and slippery during the rainy season, but the main stays decent. Although this isn't an off-leash park, I have come across people walking with their off-leash. There's a clear sign that states the rules, yet people choose to ignore it. Whipple creek regional is a delightful place to visit either for a or a ride. If you do Hike, please remember to be mindful of the as riders through the park. The is beautiful, and usually a few degrees cooler due to the cluster of trees and the stream. It's a good place for a picnic, or just a to clear your head. The paths are clearly marked, with multiple maps to direct you. Naturally, this is out in nature, so expect bugs, expect uneven trails, expect to see some manure, and expect some up/down hill walking. The only concern I have with this is the lack of care specifically dog owners have. Often, you'll see dog owners leaving poop bags behind or letting their dog off the leash, putting everyone in danger. I've seen run up on the horses, which can cause incredibly dangerous situations. Please make sure you leash your pets. This place is wonderfully maintained and for children and dogs. Very easy trails.
