Such an amazing place! I have only gotten to go to parts of the forest as it is ginormous! There are so many different points & locations to go to that it would take months to explore it all! I recommend going here! You will not be disappointed ! Great hiking trails & tons of beauty!

This is an amazing park! Different playgrounds for different ages– and kept up pretty well. Nice trails for running or walking.

BEAUTIFUL! Old growth trees dot the many pathways that go up and down from deep forest to rocky beach. More hike then stroll.

Priest Point Park

I love this trail it was a great walk with the dogs. The tree canopy is very thick so even during the rain we didn’t get to wet.

Great little park! We went to this park with our three dogs and we all had a blast on the beach.

The trail down to the beach is beautiful and there…

Burfoot Park

A rare gem!I saw a bald eagle almost rip apart a heron 5 feet in front of me! Thank goodness the heron got away, but it was pretty exciting.The walk is pretty long so you must wear sneakers. Wearing flip flops will make it difficult.4 stars because its a pretty long walk. Loved it tho.

I had avoided going on the trail because usually I am in the area at night and there aren’t any lights down on the trail at night so it’s kind of spooky because you don’t know what’s lurking down below.I parked at the West Bay park and walked up and over to the trail. I did like that…
