Dosewallips State Park Trails

Olympic Peninsula near Brinnon. This is a Washington State Park, right near Hood Canal, with an extensive and interesting trail system which includes both water front and upland trails. Plenty of work awaits us, including general trail maintenance tasks, building a small bridge, reclaiming an old trail, and graveling the beach trail.

Dosewallips State Park is a 425-acre, year-round camping park with 5,500 feet of saltwater shoreline on Hood Canal and 5,400 feet of freshwater shoreline on either side of the Dosewallips River. The park is unique in that it offers both freshwater and saltwater activities, including 10 miles of hiking trails.

Driving directions:
Drive south from Quilcene or north from Hoodsport on Highway 101, which skirts alongside Hood Canal. Just outside of Brinnon, on the south side of the Dosewallips River, is the entrance to the park. At the State Park sign take the camping exit, on the westide of Highway 101 and drive into the park. We will meet at the park maintenance shop which is the first set of buildings on your left as you drive in.
