Confirmed from Pilchuck Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Was at lower Pilchuck Park not the best spot for cooling off the dogs on a hot day. There are lots of trees fallen in the river there and my crazy dogs thought it would be a good idea to go jumping in the water off the log jam. I think it was more scary for me then for them.
