Guided Walk: Forest to Sky Trail
Friday, November 27 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Battle Point Park
This #OptOutside Day, we invite you to take a break from the holiday rush and spend time exploring some treasured natural spaces we’ve helped conserve.
This guided walk will take a closer look at two lesser-known watersheds in one of our Island’s most beloved and well-known trail systems. Beginning at the south end of Battle Point Park, we will walk down Forest to Sky trail, which crosses Memois Creek, a tributary of Manzanita Bay. From Forest to Sky, we will take a loop in Grand Forest West over Issei Creek, a tributary of Fletcher Bay. Along the way, we’ll pause to observe landscape, forest, and watershed features, practice our winter naturalist skills, and hear about the history of how these spaces were protected.
What to expect: ~3 mile walk at a leisurely pace, ~450-500’ elevation change. Trail is packed earth, gravel & mud, with 2 wooden bridges and a boardwalk. You are welcome to bring trekking poles and any equipment needed to help you feel comfortable on the walk. Dogs on-leash are okay.
Parking: We will meet at the south parking area of Battle Point Park near the baseball fields (Kitsap Transit Route 395).
Registration will open to the public on Friday, November 13 at 12 pm. Check back soon!
