Asahel Curtis Picnic Area and Nature Trail

This stunning day use area along the rushing water of South Fork of the Snoqualmie River sits in one of the last remaining stands of old growth forest in the Snoqualmie Valley.

The picnic area contains ten sites, including four along the river.

The short, easy trail traverses the old growth forest. You will cross Humpback Creek several times before the trail rises gently into a grove of mature Douglas fir, western hemlock and western red cedar trees. See mosses, ferns, orchids and a large variety of wildflowers in late spring and mushrooms on the forest floor during fall.  Listen to winter wrens among the trees and occasionally spot a pileated woodpecker.
