Honestly, it's just a cheap way to get out on the water. You can walk on and enjoy the cruise! The Bainbridge ferry is an hour roundtrip.

Getting Around

This trail goes through urban scenes, forests, and along the waterfront. You can literally go for miles. If you're up for it, bike from our house (or rent a bike at Recycled Cycles, a few miles away but right on the trail) to Kirkland to grab a beer at the 192 Brewing Company. It's about 40 miles roundtrip.
