Several north Snohomish County park facilities have now closed for winter. The county’s Nov. 3 closure update lists changes at Wenberg, Whitehorse and other parks, so check facilities before heading out.

Wenberg County Park’s dump station is closed through April 1, 2027. Whitehorse Community Park’s campground is closed through March 31, 2027.

Restrooms to check before heading out

The county lists these north county restroom conditions as of Nov. 3:

Lake Stevens’ restroom is listed as open. The county anticipates reopening winterized restrooms in May 2027. Individual facilities can change status.

Whitehorse Trail closures continue

The Whitehorse Regional Trail project page lists four closed sections, including the first three miles between the Centennial Trail and Bridge 701. Construction there runs from Oct. 5, 2026, through spring 2027.

Other closures are about 1.7 miles east of the Trafton Trailhead, at the French Creek bridge and on a section west of Darrington. French Creek bridge is closed to everyone, including pedestrians, for safety. The county says there is no detour.

Check the current closure notice and the project page’s trail map before choosing a route.
