Poulsbo's Fish Park

I have driven by Poulsbo's Fish Park for several years now and read the articles about it but just never quite took the time to stop and check it out.

Today I had an opportunity to stop, walk the trails and enjoy this nature preserve tucked into an urban setting.

The park is a work in process but well worth a stop to visit, walk, picnic, sit, reflect and enjoy the quiet or listen for the sounds of nature.

The park is located at 288 Lindvig Way, easily accessible with a nice large parking area.

There is a long section of boardwalk through part of the wooded area.

This trail leads up a grassy noll to a sitting area with a broad view of the park and a view of Liberty Bay.

There are platforms next to Dogfish Creek where you can spot a wide variety of wildlife, especially birds and waterfowl.

This is a great location to watch the changes in the tide.

What wildlife is seen at a low tide and who comes to visit at a high tide.

During Salmon runs the salmon are easily seen from the viewing platforms.
Interpretive signage can be found throughout the park educating visitors on the habitat, wildlife and history in the area.

The trails are easy and will accommodate strollers. The signage makes this a natural learning experience for children of all ages. The picnic tables and seating makes it a wonderful place for anyone to make a quick escape.

If you haven't visited the park yet, make a point of it next time you drive by.
