Poulsbo's Fish Park

Today was supposed to be the only day this week that it doesn't rain, so we headed out to visit a local park that I've been wanting to see. It is called Fish Park, and it is located right in the middle of Poulsbo. I've driven by it countless times, but I had no idea that such a fun, secluded little park was nestled just off the road.

The kids & I had a great time exploring all the trails and extensive boardwalks, and watching for wildlife. We saw bunnies, a bald eagle, a red-winged hawk, and the ripples in the water of spawning chum salmon (but the water was too murky to see them well.)

The park is ringed with this great raised boardwalk. Excellent for "hiking" on a wet Pacific Northwest day (and for scaring your little sister that there are crocodiles lurking underneath.)

Just when I finally convinced Adana that there were no crocodiles in the park, she found this sign. She spent the rest of the time convinced that there were sharks nearby, just waiting to bite her toes.

There are two of these platforms, overlooking the water that comes in from Liberty Bay. They are great for spotting salmon, heron & eagles. (But no sharks or crocodiles. We checked.)

All 4 of my kids are in this picture. There is lots of room to run and roam and explore.

Here's a video of the kids hiking. (Note: Jared is terrified of spiders.)

The perfect end to a great afternoon - Sluys Bakery. YUM!
