We had a nice time hiking here. The shade and old growth trees were beautiful. Day use fee was $9 and the machine past the entrance takes credit/debit and cash. The main trail is accessible and well marked. My only gripe is that if you venture off (like we did) to do a longer loop, there are no trail markers at intersections leaving you to hope you're going the right way. Take a picture of the map before you head out and follow the creek if needed to get back to the main trail and suspension bridge. The longer loops take you up several switchbacks through an old growth forest and then back down the other side and near the creek. There are stunning views throughout. Near the parking area by the creek are several picnic tables. We enjoyed lunch at a table next to the creek. There are also 4 covered picnic areas for reservation at varying prices. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. We saw 2 beach volleyball areas, horseshoes, and a baseball field, along with a play structure. The signage noted a fee for camping but another sign said, "no overnight camping." We saw several fire pits near picnic tables that looked like potential campsites. Definitely check the website for more info if needed. Overall, it was a beautiful place and we'll probably be back for a picnic and...

Literally one if my favorite places in the pnw for a day hangout. The upper trail is really beautiful, NOT accessible for everyone though. 😞 The lower trail is accessible and has several spots along to go down to the water, it is very pretty! I've seen lots of squirrels and some snakes here, loads of mushrooms in the fall to take photos of! It's a really good place to chill, and not far from the city! Parking is 8 dollars, and I've never really had trouble finding a spot. I visit several times a year. It's very lovely. Lots of day use area. Picnic tables. Bathrooms on site, in different areas. Places to rent for large gatherings. Small day camp areas for just a few folks. Bbq grills and tables on site. Covered areas. There's even a big fire pit. Baseball field, volleyball nets, horseshoe set up. Its a really good place. Totally worth the $8...
