For dog owners it is important to realize that not all parks are open to our four-legged friends. it is sometimes hard for dog owners to believe but not everyone loves dogs. We are, in fact, in the minority when compared with our non-dog-owning neighbors. As such, rules can change rapidly to ban dogs from even more of our public parks. It doesn't take a referendum or a ballot count for "NO DOGS" signs to appear overnight.
So make sure your dog is a good citizen on the trail - don't bother other hikers and pick up after him - and you will be embarking on a passion that will last a lifetime.
Get fit - grab a leash and hit the trail!

From I-90, a few miles east of Issaquah, take Exit 20 for High Point and turn south on 270th Ave SE. Just a few yards south of I-90, turn right onto SE 79th St and continue on west. The pavement ends in 0.4 miles, and a gate there is open each day from dawn until dusk. If you arrive earlier, or expect to leave after dusk, you will need to park along either side of the road here and follow the obvious trail half a mile to the parking lot. Otherwise, you are welcome to drive on through, watching for possible potholes, and park in the lot. A Discover Pass is required. A toilet is available, but there is no regular water source.

Cougar Mountain Park has over thirty-five miles of trails winding through diverse habitats such as mature second-growth forests, streams and wetlands, cliffs, and nearby caves. While there are sweeping views of Lake Sammamish, the Cascades, Bellevue, Seattle, and beyond, there are areas of the park that are more remote from the sights and sounds of nearby urban development.
Although most of the trails at Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park are primarily for hikers, some trails allow horseback riding. Due to hazards from historical mining activities in the park, you must stay on the trails.The guest feature is turned off. You may bring a guest that travels in the same vehicle as you.
