Rocky Creek Conservation Area

Located at State Route 302 & 150th Ave KPN. Directions: From Purdy, go south on SR 302 for 5 miles. Right on Elgin-Clifton road, then right on 150th Ave KPN and then left on first gravel road. Follow on gravel road approx 1 mile to trailhead. 224 acres of county tax-title property was leased to Key Peninsula Parks & Recreation District in 1997 for conservation and passive recreation purposes. The area consists of woodlands, wetlands, a salmon stream, various plants and wildlife. There are several walking trails of various distances leading from the trailhead. Rocky Creek contains sensitive salmon spawning grounds, and recent efforts have concentrated on keeping damaging off-road vehicles away from the gravel bed. Key Bank employees contributed by helping to install a bridge across fragile wetlands.
