Work first began on Tennant Trailhead Park in 2017, but the trail system just opened in the spring of 2024. According to the Evergreen MTB Alliance, Tennant offers "a family-friendly local trail system just one mile from downtown North Bend. In partnership with the Snoqualmie Tribe, all trails at Tennant Trailhead Park are named in Lushootseed, honoring the land's cultural heritage, local geography, and wildlife, while providing an educational opportunity for trail users."
The park is currently home to about two miles of purpose-built singletrack, with progressive trails ranging from green to double black. Two standout trails at Tennant Trailhead Park are Jumping Frog and Elk.
Jumping Frog is "a short but sweet flow/jump line [that] packs the fun into a 643-foot descent," according to Evergreen. It's a "great trail for intermediate riders to level up. There are no mandatory gaps, just tabletop jumps built for progression."
Elk is a "loamy, technical trail with all the features you can hope for," according to Evergreen. It "starts with a nice big rock to climb on and roll down, followed by a tabletop, a gap jump, and then a set of technical rock/root garden and drops. The remaining varies between berms, technical, minor jumps, and small drops until the end, [where] you finish with a few fairly big berms and jumps."
Off of Elk, advanced and expert riders can opt for two double black lines known as Bobcat and Cougar, which are "loamy, technical trails."
