To walk the entire loop, plan to spend at least 2 hours at the Reserve. Visiting Bloedel Reserve is specifically designed to be a quietly immersive experience in nature. The Bloedel Reserve has both natural and highly landscaped lakes, immaculate lawns, woods, a stone garden[1] (formerly the swimming pool where poet Theodore Roethke drowned in 1963), a moss garden, a rhododendron glen, and a reflection garden designed with the assistance of landscape architects Richard Haag, Thomas Church, Kazimir Wall, and Danielle Stern. The Bloedels' French Chateau-style home, including many original furnishings, is preserved as a visitor center.

The Poulsbo Wilderness Trail is a beautiful 1-mile, out-and-back trail just a 5-minute drive from downtown that meanders between big, gorgeous pines, across a footbridge, and along a stream. If you hadn’t just had a delicious Viking Cup at Sluys just 10 minutes before, you might think you were smack in the middle of the Olympic Peninsula’s wild forests!
