Unparalleled outdoor environment The McCormick Woods area is located on the Kitsap Peninsula, at the heart of Puget Sound. Situated between the Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges, the Peninsula offers 350 miles of saltwater shoreline for beachcombing, swimming, boating, kayaking and sailing. This is Northwest Natural Living at its best!

Northwest natural lifestyle Thanks to a partnership between McCormick Land Company and Kitsap County, the 1,550-acre Coulter Creek Heritage Park provides a permanent natural preserve adjacent to McCormick Woods with miles of connecting trails. And the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas offer a lifetime of outdoor adventure in the mountains and forests, and on the lakes, streams and beaches.

Waterfront towns, farms and festivals McCormick Woods neighbors the waterfront town of Port Orchard with its acclaimed pubic marina. Other popular destinations include Poulsbo, Gig Harbor, Port Gamble, Kingston, Silverdale, and Winslow on Bainbridge Island. These charming towns feature antiques, cafes, art galleries, annual festivals—such as Bremerton’s Blackberry and Ollala’s Bluegrass Festivals, or Silverdale’s County Rodeo—as well as wineries and farmers’ markets.

Olympic Peninsula adventure West of the Kitsap Peninsula, the great Olympic National Park offers a rainforest wonderland, dramatic mountain peaks, exciting hiking trails, secluded rivers and streams for spectacular fishing and miles of rugged ocean beaches. Everywhere, there’s hiking, picnicking, camping, and bird and wildlife watching. And Washington State Ferries ply the waters of Puget Sound, delivering explorers to all parts of the Sound.
