Illahee State Park — Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2020

Olympic Peninsula > Kitsap Peninsula

This is a good hike for 30 minutes of good exercise and/or to see some wildlife.

I parked down by the water. It took me less than ten minutes to hike the trail through the forest up to the campground but it was steep and good exercise! There are lots of side paths or options of which way to go on the trail so if you easily get lost just make some mental notes of posts or landmarks to turn at for coming back down. It takes less than fifteen minutes to hike to the state park entrance from the waterfront. If hiking down is hard on your knees you can walk the smooth road back down to the water. It is a beautiful forest here!

I also saw lots of fun wildlife! Robins, squirrels, a woodpecker working away, tons of alder flycatchers, a seal, and a family of buffleheads in the water. :D

Enjoy!
