As of December 25th
Our trails are mostly clear. The clear weather of late has let the trails dry out quite a bit. No telling how long the dry weather will stick around. I wouldn’t expect to see too much muddy conditions for a while.
One thing of note: Pope Resources has been doing a little logging adjacent to the Hood Canal Drive trailhead. With the trees down, you can’t use the trail. Make note of this when travelling through the Greenway, because if you start down the trail from the vicininty of Lower Hawks Pond, you won’t be able to get to Hood Canal Drive. Go ahead and walk if you wish, but turn around at Post 16 so you won’t get into the logging operation.
Can’t remember where the trail number posts are located? Check out our map in the General Information menu item. Remember, you can always load the Maprika app on your smart phone and import the Hansville Greenway map. The app works with Android or iOS. With GPS enabled, you should be able to find your way with no problem.

We are short of able-bodied people to help with maintenance, so if you’ve ever wanted to volunteer your time for a really good cause, we’d love to have you. Any time you can contribute is really appreciated! And you’ll get bragging rights for working with us! There is no “required” amount of time for volunteers to work. We are just happy to get any help we can get.
Our organized hikes went well. While we didn’t have a lot of people, those that went on the hikes appreciated the opportunity to get to know the Greenway a bit better. We’ll probably offer this opportunity again next hiking season.
If anyone wants a “guide” on a hike (even in the winter), let us know. We can probably have one of our volunteers help you discover that hiking is enjoyable even in the winter.
You’ve probably noticed that we still have a little work to do on the Alder Wetlands trail where it leaves Twin Spits Rd. We are working on it. Want to help? Give us a call.
Dennis Kommer donated a day this fall to help us with keeping our trails clear. He started at Otter Meadow and did a mess of trail clearing up to Bear Meadow. We sure appreciate his help!
