Woodard Bay Conservation Area

Great little trail system with nice views at the end. Being from out of state I was unaware that you needed a DNR pass until I was there so I had to go back into town to find one. Hike was very easy being 100% paved with an option for a dirt path. I didn't get to experience the dirt path trail since I was running out of daylight but I can only imagine how cool it would be given the rest of the area. You could hear multiple different animals throughout the entire hike (seals, bats, owls, birds) and it was extremely peaceful just to close my eyes and take it all in.

Love walking through this area! The trails are well-kept and maintained. The view at the end is gorgeous!

What a beautiful little hike and wonderful views along the way. They have a little restroom as well as a visual and description of what guests are looking at. I was very happy to see how clean everything is; no trash!

One of the best kept hiking and paddling secrets in the area. Beautiful trails, lots of wildlife and birds, incredible views at the end, and a perfect spot to put in a kayak during summer. We saw tons of seals and cormorants from our kayaks and found a little spot to beach ourselves for a water break. Definitely worth a visit any time of year.

Trails are very well maintained and easy to navigate. Many different viewpoints to look out over, and is a great place to walk about for a few hours. Information boards scattered along the trails provide good information and reveal the rich history of the area. Chehalis Western Trail is easily accessible from this location, being just up the road. Overall definitely worth a visit if you have your Discover Pass.
