BELFAIR

Whether you're headed north to explore Dewatto and Tahuya or plan to follow the Canal through Union, Potlatch and Hoodsport, the journey begins in Belfair

Situated on the southernmost point of the isthmus connecting the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas, Belfair is the gateway to Hood Canal. Whether you're a birder entranced by kingfishers and bald eagles, an explorer with a love of lush flora, or a naturalist with an eye for spotting fox, deer, and other woodsy fauna, the renowned Theler Wetlands Preserve offers something for everyone.

For those in search of cuisine and culture: local vendors, farmers and craftsmen can be found every Saturday during the summer at the Belfair Farmer's Market. Be sure to plan your stay around SummerFest in August, a festival celebrating music, vendors, food and a classic car show.
