Northwest Trek Wildlife Park is a treasure for wildlife enthusiasts.
This 725-acre park has a little bit of everything: lakes, trails, meadows and plenty of animals. Northwest Trek is home to more than 200 North American animals.

A different kind of wildlife park
See bighorn sheep, deer, Roosevelt elk, woodland caribou, mountain goats, bison and more up close from comfortable trams while touring the free-roaming area. Walk forested pathways to view grizzlies, black bears, wolves, bobcats, lynx, cougars, owls, eagles and wetland animals in beautiful natural exhibits. Explore five miles of nature trails and enjoy exciting hands-on experiences in the Cheney Family Discovery Center.

A park for all seasons
Each season brings a different look and atmosphere to Northwest Trek. In the winter, the park is quiet, the animals wear thick winter coats and are frisky in the chilly air. If snow comes, the park is a winter wonderland you won't want to miss. Come spring, the park becomes lush with greenery and baby season begins. By summer, bright orange bison calves, tiny fawns and spotted elk calves can be seen. In the fall, the rut or breeding season arrives. This is the time when the bull elk bugle and spar, and the leaves turn to a beautiful gold and red.

For your convenience
The Fir Bough Café is open year-round, and there is a picnic meadow and sheltered picnic pavilion. Trek also offers a gift shop, catered events, group rates, behind-the-scenes programs, educational workshops and school group programs. All facilities and trails are fully ADA accessible. Parking is always free.

Northwest Trek is only 55 miles south of Seattle on the way to Mt. Rainier National Park.
