Description
This area is a literal maze of trails cut through the forest of this park and the adjoining Kettles Park, see pic of map. Although there are no mountains there are many, many small steep hills. Most of the intersections are well signed and the park service has done a great job of keeping downed trees from across the trails. A lot of the trails I rode were very newly blazed and some were barely handlebar width between the trees, a very fun and fast trail system.
The trails in Kettles park near the Hwy connect with a paved trail that runs south to the community of Coupville (4 miles). It may be a little far from Seattle for just a day trip but with beach access, hiking trails, history, picnic areas and about 35 campsites some w/hookups why not make it a weekend trip.

Review: A couple years since my first ride & report here this area is more fun than ever, the trails that were barely cut in back then have been well packed and maintained. There has been the introduction of some new connector trails and a few more technical runs added. Stop by the office at the main gate and pick up a free trail map as with almost 80 miles of trails in over 500 acres of thick NW forest it can be a little confusing. I only encountered a couple intersections that didn’t have any signs but with a map in your pocket finding your way is not a problem. The Cedar Hollow & Grove loop is a lot of fun, the Fischer & Emily’s ridges are a challenge and the Sheppard’s Crook is just a blast. The campground here is only 50 sites and has become pretty popular with the nearby NAS crowd so reservations are recommended anytime during the summer, 1-888-CAMPOUT.

Review: This is a state park trail system with great ocean views & forested singletracks. There are two large trails, Kettles & Main Line that are the access roads/main hiking & equestrian trails. Off those trails there are many little networks of well maintained challenging singletracks. It's a great place to spend an hour or two biking while family gets a picnic set up at one of the scenic lookouts or you return to down whats left of your water bottle while watching the San Juan shipping lanes & NW view.
