Celebrate National Trails Day, June 6, with a hike on an island trail – and munch a bag of special Trail Mix, courtesy of the Bainbridge Island Parks & Trails Foundation.  

Meet the Parks & Trails Foundation and get your Trail Mix at Gazzam Lake (Marshall Road trailhead), Fort Ward Park (boat launch trailhead) and Grand Forest East (Mandus Olson south) while supplies last.  

Support the Lost Valley Trail and boardwalk project with a gift while you’re there. Help meet our $10K Challenge Match on National Trails day, with all gifts matched by Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island up to $10,000 total.   

Lost Valley Trail will be the final link in a walkable, cross-island route from downtown Bainbridge Island to Gazzam Lake Preserve. The trail will cross 33 acres of public open space between the Head of the Bay/Wyatt Way and Fletcher Bay Road. It will include 200 feet of elevated boardwalk to protect the Cooper Creek watershed and salmon stream.  

The Parks & Trails Foundation is fundraising to complete the trail and boardwalk in time for a fall opening, in partnership with the Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District and City of Bainbridge Island.
