Clear Creek Trail
- Status
- Funded in 1999
Kitsap County is requesting WWRP assistance to construct the 2½-mile long Clear Creek Trail located in the urban core of the unincorporated community of Silverdale. The Clear Creek Trail Head will begin at the new county park at Old Mill Site on Dyes Inlet. The trail will connect the estuary with the Silverdale Wetlands, Gateway Rotary County Park and finally, to an as yet unnamed 69-acre county park to the north. Users will see diverse habitats from the saltwater estuary and along Clear Creek, including occasional killer whales in the bay, salmon and cutthroat spawning habitat, blue heron, native wetland, upland and historical and cultural features. The Clear Creek 2½-mile trail will be handicapped accessible, 8 feet in width, with a compacted crushed gravel surface. Porcelain enamel interpretive signage will be placed along the trail to allow casual users as well as organized classes to benefit from the natural heritage of Clear Creek.
