Grand Forest West — Attraction in Bainbridge Island

We had a great time on this gentle hike through the beautiful forests of Bainbridge Island! The trail is well kept, there are good signs all through the trail, all of our fellow hikers were friendly and cheerful. There is about 10 parking spaces and no bathroom so be sure to go before you go (lol!)! Dogs are allowed om this trail, we did find a bag of poo on our way out though which was not cool. We took it out and threw it away when we got home. Its also a great hike for kids because its not difficult, there is no incline hardly at all. Some gentle hills but thats about it. If you take the skinny loop left first there is a picnic table and a nice little bridge. Also there is no water here so we were able to hike without my kiddo demanding to explore the water. We will definitely be going back, an instant favorite! #MilitaryWild #MilitarywildWA #AutismFam #PawsForHadrian #WildSchooling...

Absolutely gorgeous old growth forest With easy walking trails and a Zen like vibe. Located 15 minutes from the Bainbridge ferry dock and downtown Bainbridge this spot is a must stop for those looking to get into nature without hiking for miles to get there. Literally just hop out of your car in the small parking lot located right off the street and hike the trails far as far as you want easy for novices and families with smaller kids. Highly recommend 10 out of 10 hopefully will get back to do it...

It takes a bit of work to find the entrance/parking lot, but once you've arrived this park, which connects to "Grand Forest East" by a hilltop trail, offers a plethora of hiking options for both experienced and inexperienced hikers. Because many of the paths intertwine, there are plenty of ways to extend your hike. Warning: These intertwining small paths also make it easy to get lost. I took a picture of the map before we started hiking and had to consult it several times to keep...
