Duthie Hill Park

Yeah, this park rocks.
I’m used to rooty, technical, Western New York trails, and these are nothing like them. These trails are fast and flow like hot butter. I didn’t ride the diamonds at all, but there’s definitely some air to be had wherever you ride.
Lots of logs and skinnies, too. I hear it’s open year-​round!

A thrill anyone that has for mountain biking will be satisfied at duthie it has steep drops and thrilling jumps. It is definitely a great place to bike

This is a great little bike park in Issaquah! My son (7 yrs old) and I are just getting into riding and this is right in our backyard. Lots of different trails to choose from whether it is day 1 for a child off road to expert adult. Very fun!
On a side note if you are single and looking for other single mountain bikers check out my profile for more info.

Duthie Hill Park is a solid spot for mountain biking. There’s people of all ages and levels here and you’ll also find bootcamps and guided rides. Make sure you get there early, because the parking lot is small and gets filled up quickly.
There are plenty of short trails, making it easy to try out different trails. All trails begin and end in a central area. The trails are marked by levels and you’ll also find options to ride ramps. It’s not too intimidating for first timers, but I highly suggest you have a well-​equipped bike and follow the easy trails.

Epic bike park! This place is one of the best places to ride, whether you’re a beginner or a experienced vet! I like that it’s constantly maintained, and they just added a new parking area. Win win!

So much fun for kids, great trail. There’s something for every level. Even my 4 year old son had a blast on his strider.

One of the best mountain biking parks around. I am a big fan how the big focus here is on freeride. I have never really been exposed to much freeride before before i moved to Washington, from Texas, and I go here to build my skills. They also have a ton of cross country trails, too, and market themselves as more of an «all-​around mountain biking experience.» I think that is great. The issue is that a lot of people bring young kids here and the kids try to do too technical of features before they are ready. I would say you need to spend at least a year riding only cross country, first, before trying to step up to something more challenging. There are tons of other cross country trails that are a better overall experience because there are great views and more diversity.
The real draw to Duthie is that it is easy to ride to and most people can hit a short trail and go back to the main area and be as lazy as they want. If you go to the serious cross country trails, they really take some physical effort, which I think turns of most people as they don’t know what they signed up for when they said they wanted to learn mountain biking. This has made the parking lot extremely and consistently crowded. The park is at a low elevation so is accessible year-​round, unlike some other trails which close in the winter due to snow. The parking should not be a problem in the future because there is a new lot being worked on.
This place is like heaven for those who recognize the sport as a lifestyle and it becomes an addiction, and this park knows how to feed the habit.

This is the perfect mountain bike park for me. They have trails for all levels with clearly marked ratings. The double diamonds look terrifying ha ha. I love the multiple trail options because as I build up my riding confidence, I can explore the advanced trails.
Its family friendly — always a lot of kiddos on the weekend. Its nice to see families out there being active.
Parking does get crowded on the weekends but because of the various options, I did not feel that translated to the trails.

This is an awesome mtn bike park. jumpa trails obsticles for all types of riders and skill levels. paeking can get crowded on the weekends but you can park in trossachs and ride over. it is great anytime. boot camp and step it up are great trails to start on.

I visited this park after being on a roadtrip from California and I love it! Trails are spot on, fun and easy to get to, as long as you have a bike with a dropper post your set, I absolutely love the dual slalom course and some of the jump lines really great place can accommodate starting out toddler riders, to hard core dh shredders, would DEFINITELY come back here again

My son got a new mountain bike for Christmas so we came here to give it a try. He had a great time and I was very impressed with the park itself. It appeared to be well put together and maintained.
My son liked Boot Camp and wanted to give some of the others a try the next time we go back. Guess it is time for me to get into shape so I can go here with him.

Duthie Hill Park is a great place for mountain bikers of all skill levels. Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance has really outdone themselves with this park, and it’s still being improved!
The beginners and up will have fun on ‘Boot Camp’. Intermediate riders will like ‘StepitUp’, ‘Movin’ On’, and ‘Braveheart’. More advanced riders will like the carving and drops of ‘Ryans Eternal Flow’ and ‘Rehab’.
The entire park has plenty of places to practice your jumps, drops, ladders and skinneys.
Evergreen holds workshops throughout the summer and this is a excellent place to bone up on your skills.
Pro tip: Parking is almost nonexistent at the park. Go down Trossachs Blvd and park at Cascade Ridge Elementary, plenty of parking there, and be cool in the neighborhood– we don’t want to have problems with the people who live here.

My first time at this «mountain» bike park was about a year ago… Since then I have gone from beginner biker to intermediate-​advanced mtn biker in part because of Duthie. It is freaking RAD!!!
From uphill trails to jumps with a ten foot gap in between, Duthie has something for everyone with an adventurous side. It is such an amazing addition to the Samammish neighborhood, and you can find all sorts of riders here– beginners and pros alike. Go check it out!.. .Just don’t tell too many people! ;)

This is the best mountain biking experience I’ve ever had. It was a total knockout. More details here on my blog:
This place is truly amazing. From the central clearing area where you can practice jumps at different heights and berm turns etc., to the amazing XC trails… You will love this place.
I would say even for beginners it’s a little intimidating, you should probably at least be confident on your bike, but you don’t need to have tons of experience, especially for the boot camp trail. It is so beautiful and you have the option in most cases to skip the more complicated «features” — though as long as you are confident on your bike you can probably take some of those for a ride too.
I have biked in a lot of places before, and this has to be one of my favourite spots in the world. I loved it. Highly recommended! It is so well kept and there is excellent signage so you know when there is a harder «feature» coming up and you can decide to skip it in advance as needed.

Duthie Hill is our currently favorite place to mountain bike. It would be a great place to do trail running as well, just look out for bikes!
There are several types of trails: flowy cross-​country, freeride, jump lines, and practice features. All levels can find something there. The trail into the central area gives a small warm-​up, and if you want, you can actually finish your ride «in» on the «step-​it-​up» trail, an intermediate cross country trail.
It’s great to be there super early in the morning, all alone. Although during the main season, the die hards are there. Even when it is full and busy, trail flow is decent and you don’t have to stop a lot.
Other riders are generally really friendly. Nobody cares if you fall or if you need to pass.
I highly recommend heading on out. Visit the website for news of trail closings and whatnot.

Fun place to try out mountain biking or hone your advanced skills. Volunteer built and maintained and free! Second half (downhill) of Bootcamp and Ryan’s are my favorite trails there.
