The places where we live as well as our parks and recreational trails are distributed throughout Kitsap county, a region dominated by water, coastline, and uneven terrain, illustrated by the first pair of maps below.

Where are the parks and hiking trails and who manages them?
Hiking trails, walking paths, and unpaved mountain bike routes can be found in and around municipal, county, tribal, and state parks, in addition to areas managed by nonprofit organizations, neighborhood associations, and various private entities , but how do we find them?
The majority of parks in Kitsap County do not feature trails of significant length and successfully navigating through all of the possible choices is the key to finding good trails. Without the right information, the multitude of prospects can be overwhelming.
The maps below present all of the parks located in and around Bremerton, Silverdale, Port Orchard, Kingston, Poulsbo, and throughout Kitsap County, identifying the responsible agency or steward with unique colors.. Using the left and right arrows below, browse through each of the five vicinity maps to visualize the distribution of our parks. Only a fraction of them have enough recreational trails to justify creating trail maps.
