Located on the beautiful Kitsap Peninsula, Clear Creek Trail is almost 8 miles from Silverdale Waterfront Park on Dyes Inlet north to Trigger Avenue. It follows Clear Creek as it meanders through riparian areas, wetlands, and remnant forests. Hard to believe it's in the middle of a highly developed urban area.
CURRENT EVENTS
March 11 - 28th
Salmon in the Classroom
The Clear Creek Task Force's mission is to preserve, protect and restore Clear Creek, a salmon bearing stream.
Since the early 1980s, volunteers have been essential to our salmon release program that involves Central Kitsap private and public 4th graders.
Every January the schools receive salmon eggs from the Suquamish Tribe and raise the eggs to fry stage in tanks in the classroom.
About mid-March, students attend field trips to release their salmon fry into Clear Creek.
If you would like to volunteer with this exciting and educational program, click here.
These field trips are outdoors, on site at the Clear Creek Trail behind the Silverdale dog/skate park.

Marine Debris Survey
The Clear Creek Task Force has a Citizen Scientist program that is focused on monitoring the health of Clear Creek and its estuary.
One part of the monitoring is our Marine Beach survey in partnership with Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST).
This is a fun, educational walk on the beach at the head of Dyes Inlet collecting marine debris and documenting it. The data is then sent off to COASST. More info here: https://coasst.org/about
Join in the fun on Friday, March 22nd at 11:a. m. at the northwest corner of the Silverdale Hotel, our starting point.
Dress for the weather and a beach walk. RSVP to volunteer@ClearCreekTrail.org
Join our team, meet new friends and make our community a better place.
March 27 and 28th
Water Quality Monitoring
The Task Force has been performing Water Quality Monitoring of Clear Creek since 2014.
Water Quality Monitoring of four sites in Clear Creek are scheduled for March 27th beginning at 12:00pm & Thursday, March 28th at 1:00pm.
Low tide in the afternoon provides ideal conditions to collect water samples and perform some chemistry to determine dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity and flow.
Dress in layers for the weather and if you need waders, let us know we have about 6 pairs to lend.
We'll meet up for orientation and instructions at the Clear Creek Interpretive Center, 9641 Levin Road in downtown Silverdale.
