Port Gamble Washington, Bike Trails



I haven't been biking lately and I'm kind of bummed on how busy I've been.  I did bike enough to catch the fall colors and the leaves changing and falling, but I haven't biked recently.

I did want to bring up the backtrails in Port Gamble that connect with the trails we normally get through at Stottelmeyer, the Pope and Talbot trails.

This is a really beautiful way to enter the trails.

It actually makes a very wonderful hike and an easier hiking option if you hike with kids. Just go to the road behind that row of historic houses and the church (if you're heading towards the Floating Bridge from Kingston or Poulsbo, then you'll see Port Gamble and the road will turn left, just take the at first left directly behind the houses to the trail head. There is some parking.

Be especially kind to the residents and make sure not to leave any garbage behind.

This connects into the larger trail system, though on certain days, you can smell the bbq from the new restaurant below and this does not make for enjoyable biking when you are hungry!  Pack snacks!

Happy riding.  Or hiking.
