Woodard Bay Conservation Area

Olympic Peninsula

updated 1 month ago

The Woodard Bay Conservation Area offers clear trails with minor, easily passable obstacles as of August 25 and August 7. The road leading to the area is suitable for all vehicles. Visitors can enjoy views of seals and cormorants from the end area, which also features restrooms and picnic tables. However, one visitor reported broken car windows in the parking lot on August 25, despite leaving no valuables. Bugs were noted as only being an issue in more forested sections, with those near the water being less bothersome according to a report from August 7.

Crisp, foggy day. The tree down was on the forest path section. It was navigable--sort of like climbing a stile. The old access road was barrier free. Ghostly photo ops and a lovely hush.

Trail was in good condition. Had to climb over one dead fall but otherwise it was wide open.
