Now is the time to plan ahead for the next several weeks of family activity. Not only will pre-planning help you find the right facilities to support what you enjoy, but it will also help the experience be as stress-free as possible.

Camping-I highly recommend camping along the Hood Canal at the various State parks available. In particular, Twanoh State Park and Potlatch State Park have many amenities and beautiful nature settings for the whole family. Along with camping, there are rivers, beachfront, hiking, bike trails, sail boarding, boating, crabbing and more.

Fishing- Check out Maggie Lake near Belfair for a good fishing area, as well as a boat launch. To get there, take SR 3 in Belfair and turn west onto SR 300 (name changes to North Shore Rd). Follow to Belfair Tahuya Rd. Turn right and go 2.5 miles to site. Parking is available.

Fishing is also available closer to Shelton at Limerick Lake. To find Limerick Lake, go east from Shelton for 4.2 miles on SR 3, then north on Mason Lake Road for 2.2 miles. Go west on St Andres Dr for 0.5 mile to site. Parking and an undeveloped grass bank are available.

Sunday Brunch- Every Sunday in May from 10 AM-1:30 PM, you can take advantage of a Sunday Brunch at Fort Worden in the Commons. Area residents voted it as the Best Brunch on the Peninsula in 2006. It costs $16.95 per person and reservations are required. Make sure to check out the historic buildings while you are there. For more information and directions, call (360) 344-4441.
