Plan with
Confidence
The park is open from sunrise to sunset. There are no facilities in the park. The City of Ferndale maintains clean facilities at Fireman's Park and on Main Street next to the post office.
Path Type
Loop
The Main Trail and Maple Leaf Loop Trail in Russ Park make a 2.1 mile "lollipop" route. These trails are used mostly for hiking and are accessible all year; however, I would recommend the use of trekking poles in the winter. The trail starts and finishes at the lowest elevation along your hike. You'll get your heart rate up for the first mile, then use your balance on the return. There's a great view opportunity at the top of the ridge named Eagle Point Spur. All trails have a small map with location points at all trail intersections, then a large overview map at the Bluff Street Trailhead. I highly recommend you review all maps as you are hiking the Russ Park trail system.
Russ Park was donated to the City of Ferndale in 1920 by Zipporah Russ, a member of one of the town's founding families.
