Confirmed from Redmond Watershed Preserve'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.
Sprawling, forested space with trails for horseback riding, hiking & mountain biking (no pets).
What runners say about Redmond Watershed Preserve
“Parking at the South entrance is right next to bathrooms, which are small but well maintained and clean.”
“Wonderful spot alot of parking and beautiful nature, but please No dogs/pets allowed.”
“Great place for trail running - all trails are well marked, nice wide paths for the most part, gentle elevation gain, not many people around.”
Green and mossy trees align this nature preserve. Trails where one can walk , hike even trails for biking. ( some trails no) see signage. Big area adjoins the Puget Power Pipeline. It’s a popular bike route. The dog will love this walk , guaranteed!!
Beautiful, large Preserve with many trails into deep woods. Just yesterday we tried the other side of the park and found even more trails! Perfect place for hiking and being in nature. There's bathrooms and picnic tables just before the parking lot, which is large and has disabled parking and access as well.
Wonderful trail, wide and fairly smooth, there are lots of fast bicyclists here so be aware. We were lucky enough to see a mamma bear and her two cubs as they crossed a clearing. We were so close, it was both magical and unnerving.)
I love this wonderful park ❤ Really great walking trails that are not too highly trafficked usually. Sometimes you'll pass folks riding horses. There are multiple interconnected trails, so it's easy to choose how much you'd like to walk. Be aware, they don't allow dogs.
