Confirmed from Poulsbo's Fish 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.
Small bayfront natural area with walking paths, bird watching & ecology-themed public art.
What runners say about Poulsbo's Fish Park
“Nice clean park for walking, running and stretching you dog.”
“Get to see a lot of wildlife and it has fun easy walk trails/paths.”
We, adorable husky included, loved this park. It was very scenic and not difficult to walk at all. There were nice small bridges going over streams along with sightings of bunnies! Weirdly, the bunnies weren't scared of us. It was pretty cool. One thing I would like to mention was that parking was a little hard.
I was able to take a lovely walk through this park the other day. I saw it as I drove into town and figured I had to stop on the way back. There are a bunch of trails to explore. I wish I had more time to really walk all of the trails. I am sure I will be back here to take it all in again
Very calm and spacious trails. If you like to walk alone, the park is fairly empty at opening. It gets pretty busy later in the day, but it never feels crowded. The paths are pretty spacious and even. There is a lot of development clearly underway, and we are very excited to see the results.
Great park with a multitude of different trails. The sockeye and steelhead trail is by far the best. It is conveniently located right off the highway. A lot of birds available for viewing and nice views of creeks and Very many different styles of trees and vegetation. A must see!
