Indianola Waterfront
- Status
- Funded in 1999
Kitsap County is requesting WWRP assistance for the acquisition of a beach access, freshwater wetland and saltwater estuary at Indianola. The project will provide much needed beach access and preservation of a beautiful shoreline. The property’s potential sub division became a rallying point for residents. Local support has been outstanding, with citizen fundraising securing 50% of the local cost for acquisition. The site includes a tideland area of 7 acres, offering opportunities for swimming, picnicking, crabbing, fishing and beachwalking. Behind the beach is a scrub zone, an intertidal estuary fed from Miller Bay, freshwater wetlands on the east end of the site and mature wooded uplands. A management plan will be developed with the goal of enhancing habitat value while providing enhanced public access and educational opportunities.
Location
Site is located on Puget Sound in Indianola on Port Madison Indian Reservation, directly north of Bainbridge Island. It is situated on southeast corner of the intersection of Chief Sealth Dr and NE William Rogers Rd.
