Bridle Trails State Park, Forest park in Bellevue, United States.
Bridle Trails State Park is a woodland preserve covering more than 480 acres with over 25 miles of trails threading through second-growth forest and fern-covered ground. The park includes four dedicated riding arenas built into the landscape for horses and their riders.
This wooded space became an organized equestrian recreation area in the 1950s and has grown into a major regional riding destination. The park was shaped specifically to support horses and riders across the decades.
Horse riders from the area gather regularly for shows and meets in the four riding arenas scattered through the park. The equestrian community treats this place as their local center for events and training.
Three marked trail loops offer varying distances from about one mile to three and a half miles for different fitness levels. A Washington State Discover Pass is required for vehicle parking at the trailheads.
This location holds the title of the largest public equestrian facility west of the Mississippi River, drawing riders from across a wide region. Its standing in the riding world extends well beyond the immediate area.
