Very cool area kind of tucked away. The parking lot can be a little small with a hill leading down, but also a fishing ramp to let out boats. We've seen people swim on a super nice day, kayak, paddle board. Also dogs are allowed but please be respectful and keep them on a leash if others are around.

Her extensive knowledge of the area and its flora and fauna made the entire day a first-rate experience that was educational, immersive, and fun!!

Heaven. Bliss. If…read moreyou like the beach, mountains, forest and want to get to the edge of the ocean, come here. 216 acres of natural beauty, near the Dungeness Spit. Lot of picnic tables. We walked on the trail that's 1 mile along near the bluff. I could stare at that forever. I took videos and it's like medicine for the soul to watch them again and again. Camping is available here. They have coin operated showers, and there's a dump station. Restrooms too. Reservations can be made in advance online or there's first come, first serve sites but that changes at different times of the year. See the website for details.

This is a tough spot to review. The place is BEAUTIFUL! If you can find the beauty…read more Signage is horrible, maps are next-to-useless, and some trails are closed. After over an hour of hiking and not even catching a glimpse of the water we decided to leave out of frustration and approaching sunset. On the drive out we stopped at a random pullout. Within 100' of our car were some of the most spectacular views we have ever seen! Why not have a sign??? This place has enormous potential, and is icredibly picturesque, but desperately lacks management, marketing, and common sense.

This was perfect for us to stop on a daytrip to Sequim. My friend's dog was getting a little antsy…read moreand we wanted her to get some of her energy out prior to going to the Olympic Game Farm so that she didn't jump out the window or something else at the farm. The dog park is separated into three gated areas. The smaller dog area is ample size to accommodate at least 50 dogs and their owners. The larger dog area is also decent in size. Both areas have water stations and covered benches just in case you want to sit down and watch the dogs play. The third area is for agility testing or for dogs to run the obstacle course. I will say that the majority of the dogs that were in the large pen were very friendly and kind of minded their own business. My friend's dog did get scratched in the nose as she entered though, so her nose was bleeding a bit but nothing major. The pens also come equipped with a few dog ball tossers and other toys to keep the doggies moving as well as doggie doo bags. I did sense a bit of community here as well as there were a few posters of dogs that have passed on as well as dogs that were lost were posted and several people talked about the dogs that passed on as if they were their own. Overall, a nice place to just let your dogs run.

The park is great but the "board" and their "president" are terrible along with most of the elderly…read moreattendees. Brought my kids along as I usually do because they like to play with their dog and they got yelled at to stop running by the "president" I told them they are fine and ignored her. Then the lady screamed at my child calling him retarded for running. Needless to say there were some harsh words from me and another mother. They quickly posted new dog park rules after this making it more of an elderly park. Another time a mans dog had taken my dogs ball which I don't mind I let the dog play with it for a while but then my dog (a Doberman) was getting frustrated because he wanted his ball. So I went to try and get it from the dog we struggled for about 30 mins trying to retrieve the ball from the dog. All while the owner kept saying good girl and cheering his dog on in this game of take away. Oh I should also mention I was pregnant at the time. The dog stopped at the owner many times and he would just ignore me and let his dog keep the ball. This park seems to have a stigma against my Doberman even though it seems like he's the one being nipped at by people poodles If you go in the evening though at dusk you can usually avoid the rude elderly and you and your dog can actually enjoy it. This is just two times there has been many more incidences.

Underutilized park on the west side of Port Angeles, Crown Park doesn't offer much, but at least…read morethere are no crowds. There are a couple of trails that I used to take when I was young that led down to by the mill. At 48, I'm not about to volunteer to check out if they still go through. I'll leave that for a young spry yelper. The view is very nice, and there is a picnic table and a play structure. The park closes at 11:00 and no overnight parking is allowed. Remember that it's right by the water, so even if it's a warm day, be prepared for wind.

This place is awesome. We came here really by chance. We were directed here by our "AI" itinerary…read more(yep!) and had no idea it would be so great. Lovely Pacific Northwestern indigenous art, a remarkably professional and interesting exhibit inside of local flora and fauna (including a live tank of baby salmon, which you can find adult-size in the rivers around town); friendly person manning the desk and a cafe and gift shop that are not open every day so watch out for that. It's free - give them a donation, they really deserve it.

It was closed at night when we first visited but it looked so interesting that we had to come back the next day to check it out and am so glad we did! It's surprisingly large inside with a very interesting little exhibit room which is like a nature museum - full of information and displays on all the nature and wildlife of the surrounding Dungeness River ecosystem. They're all about education and conservation here so you know how much I loved that! One of my favorite things was their display of rain gauges giving you a visual example of the staggering differences in rainfall amounts around the area - mind blowing how much rain some of these places get! They partner with the local Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society and the National Audubon Society. They offer all sorts of nature and wildlife programs, field trips and conferences, as well as birding walks and other tours. The center has a gift shop and a satellite stand from Hurricane Coffee. We tried their Happy Camper (a blackberry mocha) and their Dark Raspberry Mocha and we couldn't resist the freshly made Blueberry Coffee Cake displayed - everything was delicious! They have quite a few benches and picnic tables outside, as well as a lovely bird garden that was just teeming with local species. They even have a "bird blind" viewing area inside where you can watch in secret so as not to scare the birds - it was awesome! They have plenty of clean restrooms and a huge parking lot so there's room for everyone. The GPS brings you right to the river center - but you may get confused bc it looks like you're driving through a remote rural neighborhood- but just trust it bc it's at the end of the road lol! Once you're finished exploring the river center, be sure to pop out back and explore the historic railroad bridge over the beautiful and huge Dungeness River!! So worth it!
