My friend and I walked around to enjoy the flowers and take a walk to the beach. I was not fit for the trek down to the beach though, so my friend went and reported it's really beautiful. There were swallows flying at a crazy fast speed and zooming around us. Felt like Snow White. There are bathrooms here that are the standard expected for a park, but the one I was in didn't have a light at all so I'd avoid it after dark.

We stopped by recently while roaming the island. We made a loop by taking the Ridge Loop trail to…read moreFern Gulley, around to check out the ancient cedar, into the old campground and back to the parking lot via the Forest Discovery trail. The trails were narrow and a bit muddy, but in good condition overall. The ridge section was okay, but we really enjoyed the scenery as we dropped into Fern Gulley...every shade of green, very pretty. The ancient cedar was a beautiful sight. Great views of the mountains and water from the short Discovery trail. And I always enjoy wandering through campgrounds being reclaimed by Mother Nature. A fun stop-off as we headed up to Deception Pass. Maybe not epic, but certainly an enjoyable trail system.

Many people appeared to enjoy nice long walks during low tide. This does not appear to be a good beach for swimming. However, it was a cold day when I was there.

The history is so rich at this place with the description boards that sprinkle throughout the site. I wish that they had a tour guide available if you had any questions or concerns during the visit because I was curious about the dark rooms used previously as oil rooms, but I was scared to go by myself in them ;-; so many ladders and stairs that you could take to change levels as you please to see what else the site has to offer. Even a little hiking trails around off to the side if you just want a mini getaway. It was a good time even though I was by myself. Some benches by the hiking trails if you want a rest stop. Plenty of picnic spots, but not clear trail from parking lot to the site that you have to walk thru the green grass :( I sowwy, grass

This hike can be visited multiple times and never gets old. Time it right ~ when the tide is out the lower beach section is a beauty on its own. Careful to watch the tide coming back in otherwise a very difficult hike back for many. Pup friendly and please pick up after your pooch. *Parking is very limited so come early.

When I originally wrote this my wife and I did not have an innerstanding regarding ADA laws and…read moreservice animals. Since than we have become educated so as to protect the laws set in motion by the ADA. There are 2 questions that can be asked regarding an animal that may be in question: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff are not allowed to request any documentation for the dog, require that the dog demonstrate its task, or inquire about the nature of the person's disability. [Source: https://www.ada.gov/resources/service-animals-faqs/) These questions were not addressed by the Park employee and the Park should have in place a plan on how to address an animal that isn't showing behavioral issues (ie: zero training, aggressive towards people/animals, etc.). There is a need for an awareness of the importance of being respectful to service animals. There is sadly many who claim their dogs as service animals when they're clearly not trained for any tasks and therefore should be labeled as ESA (Emotional Support Animal).
