Hiking Bloedel Reserve

On the north end of Bainbridge Island, Bloedel Reserve is a 140-acre garden and green space, with trails, a moss garden, ponds, a Japanese garden and flowers abound in the springtime. The reserve boasts "23 distinct landscapes to explore," and is a beautiful place to explore for the whole family.

Visitors must obtain a timed ticket in advance online. Admission prices depend on the time of year and other factors (such as age or student status) — the list of admission prices can be found on the reserve's website. The first Wednesday of each month is a "Welcome Wednesday," and is a pay-as-you-wish community day.
