The Kitsap Peninsula lies in the heart of Puget Sound surrounded by over 300 miles of saltwater shoreline and located between the Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges in Washington State.
Â
The Kitsap Peninsula encompasses 32 eclectic communities including Bremerton, Kingston, Poulsbo, Gig Harbor, Port Orchard, Silverdale, and Bainbridge Island
Kitsap Peninsula National WaterTrails (KPNWT) offer residents and visitors year-round access to enjoy water-related activities; from kayaking around bays and coves to sailing around the entire Kitsap Peninsula. On MayÂ
2014, the KPNWT was designated by the US Department of Interior part of the National Water Trails System, the first in WA State and the only natural, saltwater trail in the USA. Today, the 371 miles of shoreline that encompass the  KPNWT is a major attraction for a variety of water-related activities – kayaking, SUP, boating, scuba diving, fishing, wildlife viewing and leisure strolls along pubic piers and beaches. https://kitsappeninsulawatertrails.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/KPNWT-Water-Trails-Map-2019.pdf
