This inland sea trail is a National Recreation Trail and designated one of only 16 National Millennium Trails by the White House. Suitable for day or multi-day trips, the Cascadia Marine Trail has over 50 campsites to visit including several close to Gig Harbor such as The Narrows Park which is a safe haven at the midpoint of the Tacoma Narrows. At night it's great to watch the vehicle lights on the Narrows Bridges from the serenity of the park. The white dome of Mt. Rainier is visible over Tacoma, especially on moonlit evenings.
Experience the history of the Gig Harbor Peninsula including its maritime industries and even a well preserved school house.
At only 15 ft tall, this is certainly one of the smaller lighthouses in the region but nonetheless plays an important role in marking the opening to Gig Harbor.
A 109-acre marine park with 5,600 feet of saltwater shoreline on Henderson Bay. One portion of the park, Cutts Island (or "Deadman's Island") is a half mile from shore and reachable only by boat.
A great place to see the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. On a clear day, Mount Rainier will be in the background to the east, beyond the waterway.
