Parks

On Poulsbo's waterfront is a lovely park with lawn, walking paths and a large gazebo with some seating surrounding it. You'll find plenty of benches to sit and look out at the marina.

The park's namesake, Muriel Iverson Williams, was the town's second mayor.

While you're in the park, look for the small statue of Viking King Olaf near the Sons of Norway, and the Guardian Stone statue (swords in the stone!) And be sure to take a walk down the nearby boardwalk which will take you to some trails into American Legion Park.

If you're a birder, you'll find many marine birds and some other varieties. I've noted many great blue herons, several varieties of duck, occasionally I've spotted a belted Kingfisher -- though I think I recall that being closer down near the Fish Park bridge. Canada geese, of course, and many gulls. You also might spy a bald eagle or osprey but at this location they're usually farther overhead.

Moran State Park is a great place to camp. You'll find plenty of hiking trails, Mount Constitution, and lakes for swimming, boating, etc. For camping, be sure to book reservations early on as it gets very crowded in the popular Summer months.
