Clear Creek Trail, on the beautiful Kitsap Peninsula, is almost 8 miles from Silverdale Waterfront Park on Dyes Inlet north to Trigger Avenue. It follows Clear Creek as it meanders through riparian areas, wetlands, and remnant forests, in the of a highly developed urban area.
CURRENT EVENTS
Saturday, February 8th
Community Open House
The Clear Creek Trail was built by community volunteers on both public and private property as land became available.
This Clear Creek Open House will be hosted by Great Peninsula Conservancy (GPC) who will be transitioning the coordination of volunteers for trail maintenance.
You're invited to a Meet & Greet at the Clear Creek Sa’qad Interpretive Center (the “Red Barn”) located at 9641 Levin Rd NW in downtown Silverdale to learn more about this transition.
We need your support to continue to make Kitsap’s first trail a fun and educational community asset.
Join us on Saturday, February 8th from 10:00am to 12:00pm to discuss the plans for this next life stage of the Clear Creek Trail.

Salmon in the Classroom
In the late 1980s, the Kiwanis Club of Central Kitsap built aquariums to raise salmon eggs from the Suquamish Tribe in schools so that students could learn about the life cycle of salmon.
Before disbanding, they recruited other organizations to continue the program. This is where Mary Earl, Clear Creek Task Force and Pat Kirschbaum, KC Stormwater Education and Outreach Coordinator stepped in around the early 2000s.
Over the years, many more organizations and volunteers joined to support this worthy program.
We welcome new volunteers and organizations to join in the fun with trainings for the field trips that will begin March 4th and March 8th.
Field Trips are scheduled for March 11 thru April 2nd. For the most part these will happen in the morning (09:30 - 12:00p) with some afternoon sessions (12:30 - 2:30p)
