About Bridle Trails State Park

Bridle Trails sits between Kirkland and Redmond and is widely regarded as one of the leading equestrian parks in the western United States. The park has four horse arenas and a network of riding trails, and it hosts horse shows, organized rides, and other equestrian events. Hikers, walkers, and runners share the maintained trails, and three marked hiking routes of roughly one to three and a half miles offer shorter options. Visitors can also find picnic tables, barbecues, restrooms, and drinking water, though the picnic area can get crowded during show weekends. Leashed dogs are welcome, and bicycles and motorized vehicles are not allowed on the trails.
