LEGENDMultiuse Pathway These are wide paths (8–10 feet) and generally ADA accessible.
Trails, Pathways and Shortcuts These off-road routes vary from level gravel pathways to steep, narrow trails through the woods.
Streets with Sidewalks Suggested routes with sidewalks but not necessarily on both sides of the street. Some have curb ramps. Occasionally, there are obstructions like telephone poles and mailboxes.
On-Street Routes Suggested routes with no, or very intermittent, sidewalks. Some streets are not paved. These routes generally have low traffic volumes or wide shoulders.
On-Street Routes – Use Caution These routes are often the only direct way to get from one place to another. Use caution as they have high traffic volumes and little or no shoulder.
Difficult Intersection Indicates intersections on suggested walking routes where extra caution is advised.

Walking is one of the best ways to get around and enjoy
Port Townsend. This map was developed to assist both residents
and visitors alike in discovering the many trails, shortcuts, side-
walks and quiet streets that exist in the town. Port Townsend
was platted in the late 1800s and these right-of-ways provide the oppor-
tunity for the city’s existing trail network. The routes shown on this map are
all within those city right-of-ways, easements or on public property.
The suggested walking tours below showcase the wealth of places where
pedestrians can enjoy the beauty of our town. Whether walking to the store,
school, park, a friend’s house, or just getting out in the fresh air, we hope this
map will guide you to the most pleasant and pedestrian-friendly routes.

SAFETY NOTES—Please observe the following safety precautions:
• Not all trails are regularly maintained. • Off-street trails can be slippery when wet and may have loose soil. • Some trails are steep with switchbacks. • Walk against traffic on roads with no sidewalks. • Be visible, wear bright colored clothing.
• Establish eye contact with drivers. • Watch for turning vehicles. • Look left,
IntroductionThis map is intended to provide information to cyclists so that they can make their own decisions as to which route is suited for their skill level. Facilities on the Quimper Peninsula range from narrow roads with no shoulders, to roads with bike lanes or wide shoulders, separated trails with no motorized traffic, to off-road mountain bike trails. Likewise, vehicular traffic varies from low to high on the roads throughout the area.
The roads have been coded with input from local bicycle commuters, recreational cyclists and transportation planners using criteria important to bicyclists. Grade, pavement condition, paved shoulder width, vehicle travel lane width, traffic volumes and speed were some of the factors used in determining the suitability of bike routes. The suitability index of the bike routes should only be used as a guide. Cyclists should be prepared to make their own evaluations; experienced cyclists may feel comfortable on medium and heavy traffic routes, while beginning and amateur riders may prefer to stick to routes with designated bike lanes or lower traffic volumes.
Using this Map
•Know your level of skill and comfort in sharing the roadways with motor vehicles and trucks.
•Use the legend to determine the route and destination that matches your skill and
comfort level, regardless of the classification on this map.
• Note that road conditions can change and construction schedules can impact cycling conditions.
•Be aware that morning and evening rush hours add considerable volumes of traffic to the roadways.
Traffic volumes are also higher in the summer months.
•Follow the Rules of the Road.
•Ride at your own risk and ride safely.
•Use good judgment and obey all traffic laws.

Jefferson Transit provides fixed route bus service to complement your walking and bicycling activities. All buses are provided with a bike rack that holds up to two bicycles and are available on a first come, first served basis. People transporting bikes on the buses are expected to be able to load and unload them without assistance, although it is a good idea to ask the driver to demonstrate the first time.
Please act sensibly and courteously when using the bike racks. Inform the driver when you are loading and unloading, as it is sometimes difficult for the driver to see the area immediately in front of the bus. If your bike is the last to be unloaded, please fold the rack into its upright position against the front of the bus.
