Beautiful sunny day in Bainbridge and what would better than a walk with nature around a lake?…read moreWell, depends on how you define a lake. More like a pond. The trail is nice though and well maintained. It's a well-known bike trail so be careful when going in groups or with pets. Not much of a view if you're looking for spots to sit and enjoy the lake, but the trail is worth a go.

What a wonderful walk this is! It's exactly the right amount of distance for us and hardly anybody…read morewas there at four in the afternoon. The pup loved it too.

Nice park. There's a fishing dock, a tree-covered path, a lake "beach", some covered areas and a…read morebuilding that is often rented out for weddings during the year. Cons: The playground on the Ridge Top side is falling into disrepair and needs some serious work in places. Look it over first before you let your small children play on it!

There are many tables and grilling spots, swimming in the warm weather months, a full playground, bass & trout fishing, a short trail system, a large cabin to host events for a fee, a wide open field with short grass -- enough area for you and your friends/family to play sports or lie down and have a peaceful picnic.

We loved this easy and fun path. It was an easy hike for the whole family. Many paths if you want…read moreto continue after the falls. It was not too busy during the week but can see it could get busy during the weekend. Easy access to parking which is a plus!

This was a fantastic stop on our Bainbridge Island trip. This is a part of the American…read moreHorticultural Society, so my botanical garden membership from home worked here. It's a HUGE reserve and just absolutely stunning. You're provided with a map when you come in. There is also ample parking available. There is plenty of walking trails and different flora surrounding the space. There are benches scattered around the reserve if you want to take a moment to soak it all in. It's a great forest bathing space. I loved visiting it.

We wanted to visit this place really bad and I take full responsibility for not researching it…read morebetter but once we got there we found out it costs $25 per person to go in, the pictures I saw of the grounds seem to indicate it's probably worth every penny but we ended up turning around and driving to a nearby park with amazing views for free. Maybe I'm naive, I'm definitely on a budget but I think nature should be free or at least more affordable for all to enjoy, the very nice employee let us know that they do have some days when entry is free or pay what you can but it's some special day like the 3rd Thursday of the month but only if there's a full moon and raining.

Stayed for a weekend camping visit! Loved how secluded it felt while still being relatively close…read moreto town. Driving distance from plenty of restaurants and stores. Walk to the water was a bit long and hilly- being tennis shoes! Once there it was a gorgeous view!

Came here to do some afternoon reading by the lake…read more I really like this park because of the beach access and a boardwalk that jets out into the lake. There are ample tables for picnics, but only one bench for looking out over the lake. I took up a good portion of it so I could get comfortable reading- it was nice! There is a boat landing dock at the end of the boardwalk for those who want to take a break from their boating adventures. Other portions of the park have walking trails through trees, and there are lovely camping spots too.

Picnic table sits right in front of the lake. Peaceful! Doesn't look like you can swim here any more, but if you just want a nice little spot to enjoy some beautiful scenery check it out.

We did a hike from Fort ward Park to here. Neat that it's small enough to hike a few miles. Appreciate the historical information too! This is a nice short little hike with some lake views.

This is a cool park to check out if you're on Bainbridge. On one side there is a small parking lot…read morethat leads to a larger trail. My husband and I decided to cross over the road on the smaller paths toward the water. It takes you through some trees and seems a bit confusing if you're not familiar with the area. It's worth it, because there are some neat viewing spots along the path that overlook the water (it's a cove like bay so the water was receded when we were there and it was mostly mud). There is an old mill building, I think, that has a bunch of graffiti art. It makes for an awesome photo shoot if you're looking for something like that. There is a cute little bridge you cross over for the rest of the trail. There are bathrooms at different points of the park, unfortunately the one was closed for maintenance when we walked through (and needed it of course). The signage is pretty good once you make it to the trail.
