Staircase Loop Hiking Trail in Lake Cushman-Hood Canal Washington.jpg

Staircase Rapids is a beautiful 2.1 mile loop hiking trail following the North Fork of the Skokomish River. It winds through old growth forest to a bridge over the North Fork Skokomish River with only a 200-foot elevation gain.

 

We suggest at about .8 miles, take the trail to the right (do not continue up the much-more-rugged Four Stream Trail), and cross a suspension bridge to the the other side of the river.

My favorite place to work out is on the lower deck, where you can take in the fresh air and natural beauty of Lake Cushman, or find a cozy corner inside to use a workout app if the outside temperatures aren’t ideal.
