Illahee State Park

Located just east of Bremerton, Illahee State Park is a local favorite for camping, hiking, picnics, fishing, boating and especially oyster collecting. A narrow paved road winds down right to the beach making access easy for everyone. A long pier will take fisherman out even at the lowest tides. Illahee State Park has one of the last stands of old-growth timber in Kitsap County and one of the largest pacific yew trees in the nation. The name Illahee translates to earth or county. Near the entrance is a veteran's war memorial.

Located three miles north of Bremerton, from Hwy. 3, take East Bremerton exit at the north end of Silverdale. Follow the road about 7.5 miles to Sylvan Way. Go left and drive about 1.5 miles to the park entrance.
