Walk 3/26 Clear Creek Trail - Silverdale
Checking out the trailhead map board at Silverdale's Rotary Gateway Park
The old Schold Farm property at the trail's north end featured extensive boardwalks through the wetlands.
Gray skies over the trail brought occasional showers
A widgeon swims calmly on the wetland
Information about the creek restoration efforts
Some of the trail was paved, some was boardwalk, some natural surface-- a real mixed bag.
Interesting sign along the trail showing various bird wing spans.
Here's a bird with the wingspan of a great blue heron!
Attractive bridge on Clear Creek Trail near some beaver ponds
From the bridge, the efforts of humans and beavers are visible
We saw numerous trees gnawed down by the beavers
A zig-zag section of trail in the greenbelt bisecting Silverdale
Approaching the estuary of Clear Creek. The bridge seen here replaced an earlier span that hindered fish passage.
Clear Creek empties into Dyes Inlet, and arm of Puget Sound.
Lunch break at Old Mill Park on the waterfront
Nice forest trail adjacent to Clear Creek.
Clear Creek runs for about 5 miles through a busy area of the Kitsap Peninsula.
Nice find in one of the wetland areas
