Fun, easy hike. This little gem is worth visiting. This is a privately owned tree farm. The owners of this beautiful property, have graciously allowed us access to enjoy. We hiked from the parking lot to the falls using a very well manicured trail system. Lots of areas to stop and take photos, most of the trail system is covered by huge trees providing tons of shade from the elements. If you don't want to hike the trails, you have the option to walk all the way up to the falls using a service road. I'd say ok for parents with littles and definitely recommend bringing your dog. We spent a few hours hiking here.

Great place for Engagement Pictures! Very easy to walk to and a very safe environment!

I genuinely loved this hike! I haven't been hiking in a while so I thought I'd start off with this trail. Thank goodness I did. The hike wasn't too hard on me and it was pretty easy for the most part. The only time it got a little rough for me was when we were hiking down towards the waterfall. They had a rope to help us get down which was lovely. The hike down to the waterfall was only mildly difficult in my opinion. Once we made it down, it was very worth it. The view was so pretty and I definitely took a moment to soak it all in. The trail is very well-kept and the parking lot is pretty large. Although the parking lot IS gravel so just keep that in mind. It's a little hard to find for a newbie like me but not IMPOSSIBLE. Overall, this experience was lovely and I would highly recommend it.

We enjoyed this spot so much ! Who knew it's right in town ??? I was 8 months pregnant and enjoyed walking these beautiful trials and seeing the "waterfall" it was dry meaning low when we went but still a great trip . Everyone was very respectful ! The trials are clean and nice , lots of runners and pups ! It was nice to get out and stretch the legs. We had a fun time walking around that area. The water was Great! It was a hot day ! So take a dip !

I hate to have even more people come up here, but this is my go-to hike when in Manette. It's about 2.5 miles, light inclines in only a few places, nicely kept trails, and amazing engineering for safety on the trail once at the falls. Really altruistic group of tree farm owners who made this possible, and for this reason, it would be so nice to see people respecting that those woods are not theirs and so should not be carving their initials in trees. Sheesh. Beautiful.

Thank you to the owners of this private property gem for sharing such a nice outdoor wilderness location with the community. Very easy route to get to the waterfall, if you stay on the intended path and don't follow a man (no really, their internal compass might need tweaking). There's another small waterfall worth going to through the small path. if you follow along the waters edge, you may be lucky enough to be guided by the sound. The alternative waterfall (not listed on the map) is not meant for small children as there is a rope for support when climbing up and down.

Small, easy, and fast hike! On top of that it is sooo breathtaking- the whole trail and the water fall. Children can easily accomplish this hike, and dogs are also allowed. There were some parts where it was steep, but was overall flat. There is a road that you can walk that also leads to the waterfall, but I recommend the trail because the sights are so beautiful.

Here's my dog Skye enjoying the cool water!

This is a great place to take your kids for a nice stroll through the woods. It's not too difficult and I have been able to even take a stroller through it. We have come up to the waterfall to have picnics, wade in the water and just get some good exercise. The trails are maintained and I would highly recommend.

Went for Father's Day with my whole family and it was perfect! The trail was well maintained and good length. The view of the falls is gorgeous and it was easy enough to bring 4 little kids ages 8 and under and our pup!

So much fun! Several trails, great for families with children and awesome for trail running. Just be extra careful with the kids when you reach narrow paths that have rope rails to hold onto. The waterfall is pretty. On a sunny afternoon, it gets pretty busy so come early or after 4pm if you want solitude. A Bremerton gem.

Awesome, quick 2.3 mile round trip hike with a fun waterfall with logs at the end. You do not need a Discover pass and there is plenty of parking. Although it is private property owned by the Ueland Tree Farm they allow the public to use the trails. You can hike, mountain bike, ride horses and bring dogs on a leash. There were a few uphill parts that had ropes attached to trees for balance and going down to the waterfall there were some narrow sections that toddlers will need some handholding through. If you have a lot of little kids (toddler age) to keep track of I would recommend one adult per kid.

This hike was very fun and got intense in some parts, but they had ropes to hold onto. If you bring dogs I'd watch them at certain parts of the waterfall because the trail is narrow and there is a bit of a drop. If you don't want to hike the trail there is a road you can walk on or ride your dirt bike if you wish to get to the trail where the waterfall is. The waterfall was very occupied when I went there and wasn't deep enough to swim in nor would I want to as it was very cold.

Minimal parking. A couple gorgeous viewpoints and beach access. Switchbacks and a few steep hills…read moremay be tough for those that have physical challenges. Paths are not well marked but we took a picture of the map ahead of time to help when we were unsure. Many fellow hikers brought furry friends on leashes with them. Definitely worth the trip for the views, trees, water and beach.

Beautiful scenery, fairly easy hike. Surrounded completely by forest, and greenery, even though…read morethere's a community of homes on the other side, you can't even tell. The forest really keeps the sun out, dress in layers. There are breathtaking viewpoints and benches along the way to sit and rest, or just be one with nature. One viewpoint from the trail overlooking the water is not secured, and the edge is steep so be careful when taking photos/especially selfies, by not getting too close to the edge, one can easily slip/fall. The trail goes up then presumably down, but we didn't go all the way down to the beach, as we didn't know where the rest of the trail was leading until after we hiked back to our car...maybe next time. Otherwise, get in touch with nature with this hidden find! ***This lot/trailhead is quite secluded... Please be aware of your surroundings. We were visiting from out of state so are usually hyper-aware when visiting new places. I will note that upon getting back to our car, there was a suspicious car in the parking area, people probably up to no good, (there are warning signs on the map signs that these places are drug free zones) because the occupants of the car didn't get out, they began laughing hysterically when they realized we arrived, acknowledged us and then quickly left the lot.***

Two enclaves of land preserved from suburban encroachment, which has not spared Bainbridge Island,…read moreare the East and West Grand Forest. Here, trees have grown back from the violent hacking and destruction of ancient groves during the 1870s-1890s Euro-colonizer "frontier" evisceration of life. The island was razed entirely. Not a tree left standing, nor the life they sustained, that emerged from millions of years of earthly intelligence unique to this place, with thousands of years of stewardship by indigenous cultural groups. A mere hundred years ago, Euro-colonizers cared more about production lumber than the glorious trees of the Pacific Northwest and the life they held in balance. Today in the same vein, fortressed mega- mansions of the new rich warn anyone off with "private property" signs around this patch where trees are left standing, ironically referred to as "The Grand Forest." A more apt moniker would be "Hint of what was once a Grand Forest." Still the average public, now confined to the suburban and urban rectilinear hard-surface prison existence would appreciate the respite of being inside the green bower. If you are attuned to communities of trees you will perhaps note that this forest doesn't have "death", or large fallen logs that feed the cycle of life and regenerate other trees with their nutrition. You'll see just a crowded jumble of trees that have regrown having not selected amongst themselves how to thin their shared canopy, allow the light in to nurture other trees, and to fully support an integrated life system. Indeed this forest is metaphorically on life-support itself and even so, it sustains the evapotranspiration that helps keep Bainbridge Island cool while nearby concrete capitalist metropolises bake and swelter. The forest helps retains moisture during the winter which recharges groundwater aquifers that are being sucked dry at a much more rapid rate by all the sad suburban cookie cutter edifices with their sprawling Bermuda Grass lawns. As you walk along the nicely laid out paths, I wish you only the best reveries of a kind, gracious form of life that sustained myriad other life in all directions, which is what the forest will be saying to you. Cross over from the West- to the East-enclave and find the old barn of a rich lady (Prue) who donated her family's property to create a connecting corridor between the two sections. Never mind the busy recreation-chasing groups of mountain bikers and sometimes horse riders. This is a place to reconnect your soul to the signals of the life force that brought you to be, notwithstanding your current capitalist industrial trappings. Viva el bosque.

There were parking areas at both loops, but we took an Uber, so we didn't loop back. The West loop goes along the road on one side, so we could hear cars. There are tall trees and fairly dense vegetation, pretty flat and we saw a few bikers. When we started going across to the Hilltop Trail, it was a bit steep, but we got away from the road and it's a bit more serene. There was a pond on the map, but it was a bit underwhelming. A pretty easy hike for a nice stroll, but a pretty boring hike otherwise.
