With the Olympic Mountains on one side and Port Townsend Bay on the other, the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north and access to both salt and fresh water bodies, Port Townsend is a unique location for recreational opportunities.
In town are many easily accessible city parks to enjoy for picnics, play or quiet reflection. Three State Parks, with two more nearby, and marine access round out the possibilities. A short distance away reside Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest. Hood Canal and the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary are also close by. Cycling, hiking, beachcombing, sailing and the annual Rhody Run...there's much to do.
We are proud of our natural environment, and encourage the wise and considerate use of it. Take only photos, leave only footprints. If you are considering cutting down a Christmas tree at the National Forest, check to see about their permits.
Hey Kids...need some fun suggestions of things to do? Port Townsend is full of great opportunities including swimming at Memorial Pool - call City's Parks and Rec Department for current schedule (360) 385-7665. Visit our Youth Page for other suggestions.
