Evergreen is proud to announce the Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park. This <br />
park is located on the Issaquah Plateau, just north of Grand Ridge Park.<br />
The park is a nicely wooded 120 acre forest with rolling terrain and well <br />
draining soils. There is a 2.5 acre clearing in the middle, surrounding by <br />
second growth forest. Duthie Hill connects with Grand Ridge Park, which <br />
already has a 6 mile singletrack trail that connects all the way to I-90 in the <br />
south.<br />
Duthie Hill is officially open with phase 1 complete! It includes:<br />
4 flowy XC trails that can be connected into a single 5-6 mile loop<br />
1-2 miles of flowy and technical freeride trails<br />

tons of practice and skill-building features<br />
King County has provided a Community Partnership Grant and a Youth <br />
Sports Facilities Grant to help fund the project. Thanks very much to King <br />
County for this awesome opportunity! We will need to find additional <br />
funding to fully build Duthie Hill out to its full potential... so your <br />
contributions -- financial donations, materials/tools donations and volunteer <br />
time -- are vital to the success of the park.
The main entrance, parking and the Duthie Hill Lodge address is: 27101 SE <br /><br />Duthie Hill Road, Issaquah, WA 98029. Google maps will get you there. Park <br /><br />in the upper lot -- the lower lot is now reserved for King County staff. To <br /><br />get to the center of the bike park, take the trail that starts across the road <br /><br />from the southeast corner of the parking lot. Follow that dirt trail south as it <br /><br />winds behind the lodge, next to a nursery and to the boardwalk. Continue <br /><br />on the awesome new 600 ft long boardwalk built by Evergreen's awesome <br /><br />volunteers. :) That will lead you back into the woods... just keep following <br /><br />the trail and you'll end up in a large clearing or meadow.<br /><br /><br /><br />On weekends, overflow parking is at Cascade Ridge Elementary School at 2020 Trossachs Boulevard Southeast
