Tim and Hank visit Three Forks Off-Leash Dog Area |
It's been awhile since we shared one of our adventures. It isn't because we haven't had any adventures - we've just been too busy to find the time to share them. One of the places we've been is to Three Forks Off-Leash Dog area in Snoqualmie, WA. If this isn't an area you're familiar with, here is a link to a map:
Map to Three Forks Dog Park

Snoqualmie River on a misty autumn morning |
The off-leash dog area is part of the larger Three Forks Natural area located on the flood plain of the Snoqualmie River. This is the view from the parking lot n a misty autumn morning with cottonwood and maple trees lining Meadowbrook Slough, a side channel of the river.

Three Forks Dog Park Entrance Gate |
No time to linger at the view - Tim and Hank are eager to check out the park and wait anxiously at the gate,
 |
Inside the gate, trees, a meadow and new friends await. |
Inside the gate we discover the dog park has a large, fully fenced 6 acre meadow, surrounded by a bark path and dotted with several picnic tables and trees.

Benches under the shade of a big maple tree |
The meadow has a lovely shady area with benches and picnic tables under a large maple tree.
 |
Three Forks Dog Park Trail |
The trail along the fence is barked and extends around the entire perimeter of the park.
 |
Border collies in the mist |
The grassy center was great for sniffing around, running and playing chase games.
 |
A fresh mole hill |
Hank enjoyed checking out a fresh mole hill.
 |
Poop Bag Dispensers |
The park comes equipped with a poop bag dispenser and a garbage can on each side of the meadow.

Gate to the Trail

A gate on the opposite side of the dog park leads to a branch of the Snoqualmie River Trail system which we'll be exploring on another day,
