Route Description for Penrose Point State Park Trail

Penrose State Park is a delightful beachfront park with ocean views and lots of shoreline to enjoy. This loop trail is a perfect way to enjoy the whole park before picking a spot to lay down your picnic blanket and relax.

Begin from the trailhead. You can do this loop either way, but we’ll describe it clockwise. Head east on a trail that soon curves up to meet the shoreline, walking around a small lagoon before heading out onto the peninsula. Enjoy views of the water here.

The trail loops back on itself on the peninsula, and you’ll walk back inland on the other side. Hiking next to the shore, the trail turns to your right to cut through the middle of the park. You’ll then curve to the right again to loop back to the trailhead.

Getting to the Penrose Point State Park Trail Trailhead

The trailhead for the Penrose Point State Park Trail is at the end of the access loop road off 158th Ave Kp S.
