How to get to Bridle Trails State Park
The park sits in Kirkland, just off 116th Avenue NE, about 10 miles east of downtown Seattle and only a few miles from Bellevue and Redmond. Access is via I-405 and SR 520, both standard freeways with no RV-specific tunnel or grade restrictions, though traffic through the Seattle metro area can be heavy during commute hours. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, roughly a 30 to 45 minute drive depending on traffic. RV drivers should note that the park's internal lot is a small day-use area designed mainly for horse trailers, so larger motorhomes may find parking tight on busy weekends.
