ON THE TRAIL

This is a loop trail with some connecting trails that cross the park.  Walk down the road to do the entire loop.  Add some extra mileage by using the connecting trails and going down to the boat docks. The park is filled with second growth firs and evergreen huckleberries that ripen in the fall. To extend your day, consider combining it with trails in Harstine Island State Park or Fudge Point State Park.
