Enjoy a day immersed in nature’s wonders at Railroad Bridge Park. Located just one mile from city limits, Railroad Bridge Park encompasses 75 wooded acres with riverfront access to a wild stretch of the Dungeness River.

The Railroad Bridge was built in 1915 by the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railway. From 1915 to 1980 the rail line transported passengers and timber from Port Townsend to Port Angeles and farther west to connect with several logging railroads. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. In 1985, the bridge and surrounding area were repurposed into Railroad Bridge Park and incorporated into the Olympic Discovery Trail.

Volunteers and organizations including the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and Dungeness River Audubon Center worked to restore the bridge and create the park, which is also home to the Dungeness River Nature Center. Amenities at the park include a coffee bar, seating on the River Center’s plaza, public restrooms, bike repair stand, interpretive signage, and an exhibits room in the Dungeness River Nature Center dedicated to the natural and cultural history of the Dungeness River watershed.

The restored timber bridge and a new 780-foot trestle presently serve as a pedestrian and bicycle crossing on the Olympic Discovery Trail over the Dungeness River and provide an ideal viewing spot to watch salmon swimming in the water. This vibrant ecosystem is also a haven for birdwatching. The adjacent forest canopy and farmer’s fields, recognized as an “Important Bird Area” by the National Audubon Society, play a crucial role in bird breeding and migration.

Admission to Railroad Bridge Park and the Dungeness River Nature Center is FREE. For more information about Railroad Bridge Park and the Dungeness River Nature Center, see https://ow.ly/a16N50WCigX.

Washington State celebrates Smokey Bear's birthday today. August 9 is one of the 12 days in 2025 when a Discover Pass is not required to access state-managed lands. What it means: On this day, visitors can park their vehicles without needing a Discover Pass on lands managed by the DNR, Washington State Parks, and the WDFW. This free day applies to all Washington State Parks, as well as other state-managed lands. The Discover Pass free day applies to day-use parking and does not affect overnight camping fees or other overnight stay requirements. Just one of the reasons to visit beautiful Bay State Park! For day use or overnight camping, there is access to the beach, a boat launch dock, picnic tables, trails, horseshoe pits, baseball field, and tennis courts. The Olympic Discovery Trail travels through the park, and the campground has 3 hiker/biker sites for individuals that enter the park on foot or bicycle. Learn more about this fantastic spot and reserve a campsite at https://ow.ly/vyTA50WB1Fp.

To honor Smokey Bear, remember that our area, Clallam County, WA, is currently under a full burn band, in effect now through October 1, 2025. This ban prohibits all outdoor burning, including recreational fires like campfires and briquette BBQs.
