Duthie Hill, the newly opened Mountain Bike park located on the Issaquah Plateau is home to some of the best mountain biking on the west side of the Cascade Mountains. With 120 acres of purely wooded and rolling terrain, the park is spread evenly around a 2.5 acre clearing in the middle. There is a 6 mile single track trail, 4 XC trails, 2 miles of technical freeride trails and several progressive jump lines. All trails are perfectly groomed, featuring ladders, well maintained berms, and flowing transitions.
The only downfall of this beautiful mountain bike park is the fact that the trails are fairly short. Most are around ¼ of a mile to ½ a mile long. By the time you find a rhythm on the track, it ends. But, with all of these trails it makes for quick turn around times and a plethora of diverse, easily accessible trails.
Overall, Duthie Hill Bike Park is a fantastic place to brush up on your trail riding, or continue to push the limits in your free riding capabilities.
There are only 2 ways to access Duthie Hill park:
- North entrance (aka Duthie Hill Lodge) at 27101 SE Duthie Hill Road. There is a small parking lot. Ride south into the park via the connector trail and boardwalk. The lot fills up quickly -- overflow parking on weekends is at Endeavor or Cascade Ridge elementary schools.
- South entrance maintenance access road off of Issaquah-Fall City Rd. There is no safe parking anywhere around this entrance. On weekends, park at Endeavor or Cascade Ridge elementary schools and ride to this entrance.
