Bratton Canyon Park

Hello Everyone! UPDATE: This is a response to a review regarding horses in the park. They are allowed and there is no sign saying otherwise. Please keep in mind that this is a natural park. The road in from the main road is gravel and dirt. The trails are dirt. This is Western Washington and rain mixed with dirt will make mud. The horses and their owners are a small fraction of the visitors to the park and not the only ones using the trails. Visitors have included dogs and even pack goats. Please dress accordingly for your hiking comfort and needs. Please know that the park is NOT a campground. It is for day use only. Several signs are throughout the park that note that fact. A park host is always on site to answer any questions about this. Security and safety is taken very seriously at this park. All suspicious behavior is reported to authorities. There are NO FIRES of any kind allowed, either campfires or barbecues. Please help keep our park safe by following the rules. The remaining camping barbecues that were left in the park are not maintained or cleaned for public use. Running water in the park is at the park host site only and it is not potable. Electricity is only at the park host site and the only location in the park with lights. Due to the dense tree coverage and for safety of park visitors, the park hours for opening and closing may vary slightly, based on light and weather conditions. The park has one vault toilet that is open and it is next to the parking area and closest to the picnic pavilion, horseshoe pits, and basketball court. There are other buildings within the park, but they are locked for safety reasons. Contrary to other website pictures, this park does not have a lake or river running through it. A small creek exists on the west side but is not accessible. Several dirt trails wind through the 80 acre forest park and provide visitors with hiking and horseback riding opportunities. Horse trailer parking is available, so bring your horse. A gravel and dirt road that circles through the park is good for biking. A great place to find peace and quiet among the birds. Absolutely no ATV or off road motorcycles. Do not climb the trees or disturb the natural beauty of the plant and animal life in the park. This is also a response to a previous review about someone not feeling comfortable walking their dog in the park. The person incorrectly assumed that the loose dogs were the ones belonging to the park host. They never allow their dogs to run loose, they are never outside by themselves, and they are always under control. If anyone ever has a safety issue or sees other dogs off their leashes in the park, please contact the park host. They want everyone to have a great experience in the park. Thank you!

The park looked really pretty and maintained which is why I am not giving the park a bad review. I was just disappointed with my experience. I had my dog with me and thought I would go for a quick hike. I pulled into the park and a large …
