Camilla, Elias, Micah, and Silas Gordon and dog Brewster turned out Saturday to mark National Trails Day with a walk on the new Blakely Hill Trails. The mile and a half of public trail easements north of Blakely Harbor were donated last summer through the Bainbridge Island Parks Foundation. The trails are seeing ongoing work by Bainbridge Metro Parks, with graveling, a footbridge and other enhancements for safe year-round use. Trailheads can be found along Old Mill Road (east of the cemetery road) and Blakely Hill Road, and a new path meets the Cemetery Trail halfway up from Blakely Harbor. Also, LinMara Bluebird, Joanie Klorer and Lisa Sheffer, below, sticky-dotted their favorite walking routes on a map showing BI’s more than 42 miles of public trails.
