West Port Madison Nature Preserve

This nature preserve has a network of trails that wind through the trees and out to bluffs above Puget Sound. Along the way visitors can keep an eye out for the multitude of bird species that frequent this patch of land. As the trail approaches the water views will open up. With 0.4 miles of trails, this park is a great option for a short escape. Two walk-in picnic shelters are another way to enjoy this area. Dogs are allowed on leash, and there are five parking spots at the trailhead.
