Tennant Trailhead Park

Tennant Trailhead Park offers a family-friendly network of mountain biking and hiking trails designed for beginners while also providing opportunities for progression. A planned future connection to Rattlesnake Mountain Scenic Area and Raging River State Forest will create access to more advanced trail systems. Best of all, the park is easily reachable on foot or by bike from many nearby neighborhoods.

In 2016, the City of North Bend, Si View Metropolitan Park District, King County Parks, and the Trust for Public Land acquired this 32-acre property with support from the Conservation Futures Grant program and the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The land is now permanently protected for conservation, recreation, and education. Located within the I-90 greenbelt, the site connects to more than 100,000 acres of public lands and preserves views along the Mountains to Sound Greenway National Scenic Byway.

The trailhead and trail system were developed through a partnership between King County Parks, the City of North Bend, and Si View Metropolitan Park District, with support from the Snoqualmie Tribe and Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance.

Tribal Partnerships

Thanks to collaboration with the Snoqualmie Tribe, visitors are introduced to tribal history throughout the park. Trail names are displayed in the traditional Lushootseed language, and the trailhead kiosk includes a pronunciation guide and educational information about the Tribe's connection to these ancestral lands.

Park Management

Tennant Trailhead Park is managed by Si View Metropolitan Park District. Park hours are 7 AM to dusk daily, with occasional exceptions. All users must follow posted rules; failure to comply may result in criminal trespass charges.

Trail Safety

• Trails are open to non-motorized users only.
• Equestrian use is not permitted.
• Some trails are directional or designated for specific uses (hiker-only, biker-only). Please follow all signage.
• Ride and hike with care, stay on designated routes, and respect the natural environment.
• Help maintain the trails by following safe riding practices and staying engaged in stewardship efforts.

Ride with Care

The trails at Tennant Trailhead Park and the Torguson Park Pump Track offer great experiences for riders of all skill levels. During the wet Northwest winters, trail conditions can become muddy. Please monitor conditions before riding:

• If your tires leave deep ruts, turn back and avoid muddy trails.
• When encountering short muddy sections, ride straight through rather than around them to prevent trail widening and vegetation damage.
• Protecting the single-track character of the system helps reduce erosion and long‑term maintenance needs.

Thank you for helping care for these public lands.

Trail Etiquette

• Stay on designated trails and do not create new routes.
• Use open trails only and avoid trespassing on private property.
• Pack out all trash and dispose of pet waste properly.
• Share the trail: downhill users yield to uphill users. Bikers, please control your speed.
• Respect wildlife and keep pets leashed.
• Plan ahead and be prepared.

Volunteer Opportunities

Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance is a key partner in developing Tennant Trailhead Park. Community volunteers and the Friends of Trails group have contributed many hours to site cleanup and trail preparation. New volunteers are always welcome to join ongoing stewardship efforts.
