This trail can be accessed from the Pleasant Beach Drive NE parking lot.

    The Upper Fort Ward Trail is rated Intermediate and is a .75 mile long trail that travels steeply up the hillside to the park’s forested uplands. It provides views of the Puget Sound, historic interpretation, and links the park’s two parking lots. This trail can be accessed from both parking lots.

    The Ridge Trail is rated Easy and is a .5 mile long trail that skirts along the upland ridge of the park overlooking the Puget Sound waterway. The nearest access to this trail is from the Fort Ward Hill Road NE parking lot, approximately 0.2 miles north along the Upper Fort Ward Trail.

The main parking lot is located at the dead-end of Pleasant Beach Drive NE and a smaller parking lot is located off Fort Ward Hill Road NE. Both parking lots have sufficient parking, restrooms, and trash facilities.
