Little Mountain Park
Info
Little Mountain is a beautiful 522-acre park with meandering multi-use trails for hiking, mountain biking and trail running. These trails lead from the park entrance to the park's summit, and are being built by the Mount Vernon Trail Builders. This volunteer organization started their work on Little Mountain in May of 2009. Tools, building materials, equipment and the money to support our volunteers come from two sources: Mount Vernon Parks & Recreation and donations.
When driving up Little Mountain's access road you'll see where the trail crosses the road. To the left is the trail La-Z-Boy. To the right Huff-N-Puff takes you around the north side of the mountain and connects to Sidewinder, which continues the climb to the summit. At the summit are two stunning viewpoints, and an area with picnic tables and parking.
The series of connecting multi-use trails leading from the park entrance to the summit make for a fun ride.

Little Mountain is a Mount Vernon City park. The Mount Vernon Trail Builders work with the Parks Department and the City of Mount Vernon, to create and maintain sustainable multi-use trails on Little Mountain. For more info please visit the Little Mountain Park website.

Ride Reports
I needed to visit LaConner to inspect a facility so I brought the bike to ride at Little Mountain Park before the task at hand. I made three runs down Pitch and Roll and one other down Huff N Puff with Rooty. Yes, the trails were dry, but only some gravel in P&R's corners needed a good raking. GP...
Went up to Mt Vernon to escape the incoming rain front and made runs on the three upper trails and finished with La-Z-Boy to get back to the car. The trails were a little leafy but hero in most spots. Had lunch at the Skagit Riv...
Didn't take any pictures today but had three nice early runs on Pitch N Roll and the soil was great. The lower berms could use a pine needle and gravel removal run with a rake b...

Got to the new lower lot really early this morning and began the ride just after 7. Climbed to the summit to get the picture and then came down Sidewinder and then completed three runs on Pitch and Roll. There were a couple small puddles but not enough to worry about traction. It was a good morni...
I was watching the rains coming in on the next storm and saw that I could either go through rush hour traffic to get to Tiger or just go the opposite direction to Mount Vernon. I went North and did four loops on Pitch and Roll and then did the Surfer's loop and Sidewinder also. The soils were in...
Went up to Mount Vernon this morning to do some runs up there since farther south is still soggy from the rains yesterday. Pitch and Roll was fun, almost hero, so I went down it three times and then went back up to do Bonnie and Clyde and La Z Boy to get back to the car. The Bonnie and Clyde clos...
Got to the Park's new main lot early this morning and then climbed to the summit viewpoints for my pictures and then descended Sidewinder to Bonnie and Clyde. B&C was still marked as closed due to a lower than normal powerline but it was still higher than bikers (as long as you stay on the trail)...
I missed the grand reopening of Little Mountain's Skill Park and Trail additions back on Sept 12th so I made it my next destination this weekend. Last time I was here was three years ago so I needed to check it out and get a new impression of Little Mountain. I parked in the North Lot and went up...
First time here. Forgot my front fender but the trails drained so well that it didn't matter. This park was great with gorgeous views of the Skagit Valley and might be even better during the Tulip Festival's fields' colors! I did Sidewinder, Huff n Puff, Bonnie and Clyde, the Surfriders and Rooty...
Really cool 1.5 - 2 hour ride. There's main road entrance which is gated. You drive up to to top where the lookout, bathroom, trailmap and parking are, ride down and then take road or trails back up to the top. This ride I started at low entrance (East Entrance) pull-off parking, trailmap and por...
