The Kitsap Peninsula Water Trail is a boater’s paradise, a uniquely glorious and varied stretch of saltwater currents. At 371 miles, this is the longest nationally designated water trail on the West Coast—and the first saltwater trail in the United States. Designation gives it status akin to the Pacific Crest Trail and it includes the stretches of waterways, bays, and inlets that flow up into and around Kitsap Peninsula. As the extensive water trail approaches its 10th birthday next year, there are many ways to explore the aquatic path with 200 access points, particularly if you enjoy paddling.
