Gig Harbor is the
Peninsula's playground.

Activities of all kinds are available, but the water is the blood of the community. Water sports abound. Sailing, kayaking and pleasure boats line the many marinas in Gig Harbor. A public boat dock is located downtown with three boat launches close by. A new fuel dock will open in early 2006.

Cylists will enjoy the Gig Harbor waterfront, as well as the winding country roads of the Crescent Valley. The Cushman Trail is a perfect walking and cycling trail . This great trail will be extended during the next year.

 

Golf anyone? Three public courses and one private course as well as a double deck driving range and miniature golf facility offer something for beginning to expert golfers.

Gig Harbor is home to many public parks on the water and secluded away from downtown. Space at parks may be reserved by calling 851-8136. Three State Parks and one RV Park offer campers a variety of options as well as day use facilities, beach access and hiking and biking opportunities.

Birding is also popular at the state parks and other waterfront locations around the area. Several helpful nature shops in Gig Harbor can help you get on the right track.

Please feel free to search our Business Directory to find more ideas for recreation supplies and activities. After a fun day in the Gig Harbor Peninsula Area you'll want a place to come home to, so you can relax, get cleaned up and get a good night of sleep before you take on another fun-filled day or hit the road home. Find a place to stay in the area on our Accommodations page.
