Overview

The park is open dawn to dusk.

Dogs: Leashed

Description

This trail provides a great way to access the beautiful Gig Harbor view point at the end of the park. But most hikers use sections of this trail to link with other longer trails in the area. It is wider than most of the other trails and well maintained.
