The Pacific Northwest Trail (PNT) is a legendary 1,200-mile hiking trail running from the Continental Divide to the Pacific Ocean on Washington’s Olympic Coast. The PNT crosses 3 national parks and 7 national forests, including a 1 mile section through Abayance Bay. PNT hikers often stop to re-provision at our Marina Store and to spend a night in the campgrounds. Abayance Bay welcomes all PNT travelers, from day hikers to thru-hikers, and is proud to support the PNT and National Scenic Trails.
