Puget Sound Hikes
Hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding are the activities in this upland nature preserve, the largest park in Snohomish County. There are over six miles of designated trails. I would say the highlight is Rock Candy Lookout where one can capture panoramic views. The rest of the park is mostly forested trails with some wetland type lakes here and there. Lower your expectations, the trails are pretty basic lowland forested walks, while some trails are nicer than others.

Lords Hill Park

Access:
Snohomish Parks
Mitchell Lord purchased 80 acres on the hill in 1879 and homesteaded on 130 acres in 1884. Devoting most of his attention to dairying, he also raised horses, sheep and hogs. 100 acres were in cultivation. His home was built on a terraced elevation overlooking the Snohomish River Valley, was one of the most imposing residences in the county. The Parks Department secured the majority of the park property from the Department of Natural Resources and Washington State Parks through a reconveyance action.
Tell your phone to go to Lords Hill Park. Basically, it is between Snohomish and Monroe on the Old Snohomish-Monroe Highway. Turn South on 127th (Lord Hill Road). Signs point to the trailhead. There is a large hiking trailhead and a trailhead for horses that accommodates up to 25 horse trailers and tow vehicles.
