The coolest hike.Walk down the creek left until you reach the water fall. It is small but pretty.

It was a beautiful sight. I little bit of a incline hike but most of it with stairs. Not really marked, but if you go with a picture of a map of the trails youll get to where you wanna go. And its also a great place to find an adventure.

Lovely place to hike around. Some areas have the trail washed out. Ive also experienced people on small electric motorcycles driving around the main sections. Lots of small paths and approaches that get very steep suddenly that might be dangerous if youre walking/running around too quickly and not paying attention. I found the steep sections quite fun myself and the bottom with the small waterfall and brook is lovely.

I liked it a lot. Some nice areas if you want to keep it relaxed, then there are some more challenging areas if you want to get your adventure on. My partner does not get as excited about the more challenging parts of hikes as I do but she was able to manage this this one so it was a great middle ground. Only negative was that it was a bit difficult to actually find the small waterfall but after getting turned around a few times we finally did it.

We didnt spend much time here, but the park is beautiful and perfect for short hikes. Lots of elevation changes to get the blood pumping and heart rate up.

Tucked away in an urban area it is a nice place to walk and explore. They need signage to better help navigate the way. We never found the waterfall.

Easy hike with the kids. A few places where the trail was narrow or didnt have signage.

Beautiful scenery right in the middle of town. Trails were pretty well maintained, but not very well marked.

Cool place in the heart of Bremerton. Dont go alone. Safer with another person. Run or walk but would not suggest a bike. Trails are beautiful and water fall was fun to find.

Review №11

Ive yet to find the waterfall. But, we do let the kids walk at the creek area below. It’d be nicer if the city removed the tank from the creek though.

Review №12

Access is challenging for casual walkers, but a nice little hidden gem.Directions to falls: From the Birch street trailhead, go down hill, left at the sign, right at the next trail fork, then look for another branch on the left. Follow this down the stairs to the creek. Follow the creek upstream, by whatever path fits your ability until you reach the small falls.

Fairly easy walk, beautiful trails. Really enjoyable during summer!

Great walking path down the steep banks of a washed out ravine to a small trickling Creek in what looks a dry Creek bed. Big ferns and old concrete culverts dot the ravine floor making and beautiful afternoon outing.

While a beautiful oasis inside Bremerton, it is poorly maintained and hard to navigate in places.

Well maintained with a few different trails and a little creek. Its not spectacular but its refreshing to have a little access to the woods in the middle of Bremerton.

A good place to got for a relaxing walk and enjoy some fresh air. Also a good place to take the pups for a walk.

Review №28

They have some great trails that are pretty well maintained by the city and community. Planning on expanding the trails this Saturday. It also is clean with little to no trash.

Beautiful trail. Some steep spots, but really calming walk. I did find honey mushroom, turkey tail mushroom, and also a few medow mushrooms. Water fall if you follow the creek.

Am

Nice except the homeless people living back there in the summer.

Review №33

Cute. Cool temps on a hot day. Nice creek or at least a creek when we went. We will be going back. I think its one of those hidden gems that the locals hope visitors never find.

Sa
Review №34

Its pretty but i dont quite understand the trail system. Steep climb but it tuckered out the dog

Review №35

My 6 y/o and I visited this today and he loved the jungle. Some places were a bit steep for him and it could have been a lot more clearly marked but had lots of fun.

Ca

Great place to go for a quick hike, especially because it takes only a few minutes to get here.

Br

A nice little hideaway trail. Could use some upkeep, but still a fun little trail system.

I never knew there was a hiking trail there until I was hiking there earlier today. It was neat but its the middle of summer so there are spider webs literally everywhere and they kept getting in my face

Surprising, immersive nature experience in the heart of Bremerton. Trails are mostly in good condition and the signage is well done.

Best secret in Bremerton. My family and I like to spend hot days down by the creek

Am
Review №43

The canyon has really improved since i was young, thanks to a lot of hard work from the community! Its a nice place for a nature hike, without having to leave town. There arent any benches or a restroom, which is fine, but does limit my visit times. :)

Review №44

Absolutely stunning natural beauty, but watch for broken glass. Sad that such a beautiful area is marred by trash. I carried out a handful to try to help and had trouble finding a public trash can. Still, this place is a gem and I will return. I just wish people would take better care.

I loved it. Im a California Baby beaches and bleached tips, joints and snow trips but no I have never been in the wilderness like this but if your like me new to the atmosphere embrace it because its beautiful and nature is truly at peace I got to witness that on this hike

Review №51

Great. Much more wildernessy than youd expect in city limits. Nice little waterfall. We took our 3 boys and dog all through the trails and falls area. We had a great time. There are more trails than on the map which makes efficient navigation more difficult, but all roads lead to the stream.We went on a Saturday in July and only saw one other group the whole time.

Ka
Review №52

We just walked through here. Ok if you are just walking your dogs. Really random off shoots of pathways that make it hard to know where to go. We couldn’t find how to get down to the waterfall. A bit disappointed.

Review №53

Beautiful with a little creek inside but absolutely nothing is marked and so many offshoots of the trail its extremely easy to get lost went down a couple of trails that dead ended if Trails were marked I would come back but if theyre not too easy to get lost in the woods

A little bit unsure of the neighborhood, but the trails were fun.

Review №56

It is a cute walk, but as a hiker I dont like how you pick a trail and you have to back track due to dead ends. It is fun if you have kids that love to play in water. The stream is small and has a couple of great places to sit.

Scenic forrested area with walking trails. Seems like youre in the country, right in the middle of East Bremerton. Just a stones throw from Lions park!

Review №64

Daylight hours only, please. This is a light hike for people to enjoy within the city limits and neighborhood of Bremerton. However, be aware that homeless people sometimes try and camp out and must be reported immediately to keep this a safe environment for everyone.

Review №66

Its a beautiful place to go for a day hike. It looks small on the map but it is deceptively large. There are a few difficult trails to hike if youre into that sort of thing.

Beautiful trail following a canyon. The adventurous can hike down to the creek and follow it if youre not afraid of getting wet at the narrow points.

Pleasant hike but overgrown and not maintained. Worst of all was access (parking) and worrying about car being broken into.
