Bothell/Mill Creek Area?
- Thread starter baric
- Start date
Japanese Gulch (near Paine Field/Mukilteo) Where are you exactly? I am just north of Brier/East of Alderwood Manor. As far as trails for ridign the pickings are slim to none around me....most land has been developed over for soem time... a decade or so.
Some more info might help me (and others help you out)

I'm like a mile away from ya! I'm right up the hill from the QFC after you turn onto Bothell/Everett from Bothell Way (the 522/527 interchange)....As GHB's listed...Paradise Lake is pretty cool....technical and slow for the most part...but fun!baric said:
I'd love to get a ride going I am out of town the rest of this week, but I'll put up a new post next week for a ride after work or on the weekend.
I am looking mostly for XC and a little freeride stuff. I have ridden Tolt and its a longs ways from home... the best place I have ridden is Tiger Mtn, I like the climb and the downhill on Preston is a blast... also have fun on the man made things at St. Eds like the teeter totter and ladders.
I've also ridden Paradise Valley, someone jammed a stick our truck's tire stem... so it kind of turned me off of there.
Thanks for all of the responses.

Lots o' riding in that area. Unfortunately, there used to be a lot more.
Small area off North Road on Ed School Dist property just North of Floral Hills cemetery.
Used to be a bunch of stuff where the new Mill creek "village" is... :eviltongu
Lord Hill has some fun stuff if you know where to look. It's probably the must unused with biggest potential area around.
Paradise has "issues". Not surprised about the stick.
I've also heard about some riding right there off 128th at the West top of the hill at the old Nike site. Used to be a bunch of moto trails and hill climbing stuff in there back in the day when we rode "Honda Hills" in MTLK Terrace.
GHB has been to Lee Forest off Hwy 9 with me at night. Some seasonally closed trails. But, about 5 miles of XC singletrack.
Let's see, what else...
Yeah, the Gulch is great. Still full of nettles?
Crystal Lake DNR has about 7 miles of trail in it and near there off 522. Some sketchy stunts if you look around too.
Willows Fjords on Redmond for a good workout.
Cherry Valley is right out Woodinville-Duvall off Kelly Road. Fun stuff. But, about a 35 minute drive.
Armstrong Tract is right up Hwy 9 in Arlington.
Plus lots of other smaller areas.

There appears to be some land off of north road and on the west side of North Creek park. Any potential? Baric if you want to have a fun little ride around Mill Creek there are a couple little spots some of us know about. we should ride some time.

Ahh...Mill Creek. That used to be some good dirt bike riding there - - until they built a stinkin' town on top of it! I grew up at Martha Lake and all that was at the intersection of 164th and the Bothell-Everett was an old trout pond, broken down orchards and miles of dirt bike trails.
You don't know a girl by the name of Anita Load(sp?) do you?MinorThreat said:
I've mentioned here before that there's a small patch with trails on it off North Road (West side) still that's on Edmonds school district property North of the cemetery. Word is that it's getting developed finally. They've had a bulldozer out there and flagged some areas.
Yes, there are some trails off North Creek too. But, it's been a while since I was out there. You used to be able to cross 164th and head North all the way to the park on 128th.....

That sounds like a joke..........trailhacker said:
Is it? Am I that slow today? Or am I slow all the time?
The name doesn't ring a bell -- sorry. I lived on Larch Way north of 164th just across the road from the lake. Graduated Lynnwood HS in 1973.trailhacker said:
Although Larch sounds familiar (she lived right on the lake I think), she graduated Lynnwood class of '88. So no, you probably aren't familiar with her?MinorThreat said:
It sounds like a joke, and believe me, she took hell for it - "I need a load"...
