Poulsbo is known as Washington’s Little Norway, and the town definitely sticks to the theme… they even have a Viking Festival. That being said, Norwegians certainly aren’t the only ones who love to fish. We’re definitely known for our fishing here in the Pacific Northwest, and that’s why Poulsbo’s Fish Park is pure Washington.

Poulsbo's Fish Park consists of 40 acres on the Liberty Bay Estuary and Dogfish Creek

This urban nature park is the result of contributions from the city, tribes, state, and federal funds as well as the hard work of a lot of volunteers.
The park's fish theme is very subtle, although you will find a few reminders.

This driftwood fish sculpture, for example, is one of the top attractions.
The best way to see the park is to take the one-mile loop known as Poulsbo's Fish Park Trail.

As you can see, the trail is well-marked and easy to follow, and it showcases all the natural beauty of the area. But the trail doesn't support bicycles, so you'll have to walk it through the park or chain it up as you stroll.
