The park sits on a ridge that running parallel to the Snohomish River. The ridge, which reaches as high as , consists of vertical basalt outcroppings that rise from the river floor. Settlers started to come in when Mitchell Lord purchased on the hill in 1878 and started dairying on his 130 farm in 1884. His home still remains in the park site. By the mid-1930s, the area attracted the logging industry, and all the old-growth was cut down. In the 1980s, some second-growth timber was taken by the Department of Natural Resources. 〔 http://www.seattlepi.com/getaways/9704_hike01.shtml SeattlePI.com website 〕 At present, the park is under the management of Snohomish County Parks and Recreation Department but maintained by a group of volunteers, for the department lacks the resources to staff the park full-time. 〔 http://friendsoflordhill.org/work%20parties.htm Friends of Lord Hill Regional Park website 〕
