Confirmed from N.A.D. Marine Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

This is an awesome extension of NAD Park off Austin Dr. This marine park has a little beach access but the coolest thing is the trails that go up the hill.

Can't wait to have time to fully explore. We stopped for a small drive brake to stretch our legs and it is BEAUTIFUL.

I love this place it's super beautiful and secluded especially for downtown Bremerton it's a nice little getaway in a nice residential area and if you walk up the trailhead there is old bunkers that you can see. Many people don't know about the bunkers but they are super cool also a nice Beach to go to and free parking

★★★★★ — Chevelle , Aug 2019

The lower park has 2 parking lots one 6 car parking on one end and one whole street and loop on the other end. A great place to jog or ride your bike. Also the large playground at the far end has a nice large lawn that is well kept and great for picnicking.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
