Port Ludlow :: a Master Planned Resort Community for All Ages :: Birding, Boating, Golfing, Hiking, & More

Montgomery Loop is a basically flat route about 3/4 mile in length that passes through the area north of the Port Ludlow marina, on the water side of Oak Bay Road. It connects to the conference / Admiralty condo area, so that walkers can use this route to reach the Around-the-Bay trail.

Montgomery Loop isn't really a "trail" because over 90% of the route utilizes village roads. A short segment passes through the greenbelt at the end of Condon Lane and Libby court so that the loop can be achieved.

You can enter or exit this route at any point, depending on where your home or destination is. If you want to drive to walk this loop, park at the trail sign which is north of the old conference center (now the Grace Christian Center), near the utility road that is marked with the red identification sign "8481".

These directions assume you start at the southermost point of the Montgomery Loop.

Walk north on the short path that leads from the Grace Christian Center (the old conference center) to the Montgomery Lane cul-de-sac. Walk north along Montgomery Lane until you reach Libby Court. Be careful when you cross Pope Way. There is so little traffic that drivers aren't always paying attention.

Libby Court is basically just a cul-de-sac which is on the right as Montgomery Lane curves northeast towards Mount Baker and drops down a slight incline to become the street closest to the bluff. Turn right on Libby Court and walk to the end of the cul-de-sac. Look for the "hiker" sign which marks a narrow pathway through LMC greenbelt property. This path takes you to a more open grassy area which leads you to the north end of Condon Lane.

Follow Condon Lane back south, turn right on Pope Way. Walk a block up the slight incline (away from the water) to Montgomery Lane. Turn left (south) to complete the loop and return to the old conference center area.
