Trails
VIEWPOINT LOOP | .5 MILES
A perfect place to enjoy the morning sun on the Olympic Mountains or stretch your legs after dinner.
BIG TREE LOOP | .6 MILES
Meander past the base of giant firs that escaped the logger’s saw for the last century. Wear sturdy footwear and expect to duck under a fallen tree.
DOGWOOD RIDGE | 2.8-3.3 MILES
Our most remote trail offers several loop options and two fun creek crossings. A short side trip leads to a peek-a-book view of Hood Canal.
LICORICE FERN | 3.2 MILES
An even longer route to the top, this trail explores interesting boardwalks and bridges. The Licorice Fern sprouts on tree trunks after a rain and disappears in dry weather. See if you can spot it along the way.
HUCKLEBERRY HILLCLIMB | 2.2 MILES
If you feel like a longer hike, follow this trail to the top of the hill. Along the way, you will dip in and out of the creek valley before climbing to a sweeping view of Hood Canal and the Olympics.
