On a somewhat rainy day, my family and I were interested in exploring Bainbridge a bit. We found…read moreHidden Cove Park but honestly questioned whether we were going the right way a number of times. Finally, we reached a small parking lot in a wooded, grassy area on a hill that overlooked the water. There was a stairway down to the water. The stairway has seen better days and given how slippery it was, a number of us decided to stay on the hill. Some of our group ventured down on the floating dock which was about as wobbly as the stairs. The dock was a nice setting for some beautiful pictures! This is a nice park for a picnic, to eat your lunch in the car, or to have a few minutes of peace to yourself.

It really is gorgeous. The trail is tight and offers lots of turns and ups and down and be careful of the ruts sticking up so you don't trip. If you follow it down to the beach and stump house, it's steep. nothing crazy but let's just say I ran down but there was no way I was running back up lol. Oh and stay off Ridge trail. It's very over grown and closed due to a previous storm. I forgot I saw a hand written not on the trail sign and went on it later‍. I went March 5 2018 and it was closed then.

My two kiddos (8 and 4) and I were looking to get out of the house and into the woods for a bit so we came out to finally see this stump house. Parking is a small dirt lot on the side of the road. Cross over and there are marked trailheads. There are two trails down. One is sawmill trail which will take you all the way down to the beach (once closer to the beach the drop off is quite steep and trail very narrow.) and the other trail spits you out onto a gravel road. You can continue on the gravel road down to the beach or walk a hundred feet or so and take the sawmill trail. We took the gravel road down and I couldn't help but feel like I might be on private property because at the top of the trail it said to keep on trail because of private property. BUT once we got down we realized that yes, this road does take one to the private property but that it's permitted for park goers to use the road as well. One car came down as we were walking and parked to make their way down to the beach. There really isn't a dedicated area to park here, just a turn around spot so maybe plan to drop off if you go this route. And your car needs to be out an hour or two before sunset or you get locked in. There was a fellow yelling for the car owners as we were on our way back but they were nowhere to be found. Once you get down to the beach access point there is a detailed map to see the entire layout of the park and trails. You cross over a little bridge and to your right is the beach and to the left is the stump house. The access point was flooded so rain boots were a must. The water and mud was about ankle deep in the more shallow areas. It's doable. Don't let a little water stop you. From the bridge we went left in search of the stump house and found it in about five minutes of walking the trail. A cute little stump, hollowed and some fixings nailed up to make it took like a home. Inside there's a book to sign your name and maybe add a quote or story. Also, a treasure box to leave something behind. It was a really cool spot for the kids. We headed back after this as it was getting late. So I cannot speak for the beach area. We'll get to that next time. We took the trailhead to the left this time. There's an old, gutted house that's surely to fall to pieces soon at the head of the trail. This trail is extremely steep and while it was more serene than the gravel road it was a workout. Overall, it's a great little hike for the entire family. We even saw a bald eagle. Note: there are no restrooms or running water.
