Dickerson Falls - South Loop TrailDid you know there’s a waterfall hike in Bremerton? I didn’t, either. Dickerson Falls is a local’s best kept secret, and a great, family hike closer to home.The trail is located on the Ueland Tree Farm in Bremerton, a parcel of private property that is so generously made available to the public for responsible, non-motorized recreation. The falls can be reached via two main trails: the Dickerson Falls Trail, a 1.6-mile gravel road or the South Loop Trail, a 3 mile loop of generally gentle grade terrain weaving through forests and wetlands. The trail system is also popular for mountain biking and hiking. My husband, toddler and I ventured out there on a Saturday morning. There is ample parking in the gravel parking lot, but this trail is very popular so anticipate crowds. We opted to take the South Loop Trail, which even on a cloudy morning felt very scenic. The trail weaves in and out of the forests, with about 285 feet of elevation gain. Like so many hikes in Kitsap County, you feel a thousand miles away from civilization with the endless nature and peaceful atmosphere. |  |
The trail is obvious in most places but pay attention to markings and signage. Be careful with littles as you near the falls. The trail gets a bit steep down to the waterfall, but there are assistance ropes and railings. Dogs are allowed on leash.
