Bridle Trails State Park - Kirkland, Washington
Locally known as the “wilderness in the city” Bridle Trails is truly a park in an urban setting and despite being bounded on all sides by interstate or housing, Bridle Trails still manages to have a bit of wilderness flair. An interesting fact about this unique area is that Bridle Trails was the first park west of the Mississippi specifically designed, and still operated, exclusively for equestrian use.
In addition of over 23 miles of trails you'll find several arenas, ample parking, water for your horses and restrooms. There are three main trails (Raven, Trillium, and Coyote) which are wide and smooth enough to accommodate carts. For horseback riders, the remaining 17 miles of secondary trails makes up the vast majority of riding options.
