Stroll across emerald fields, climb coastal bluffs towering above crashing surf, and wander along a driftwood log–strewn beach, gazing across busy coastal waters to a backdrop of snowcapped Olympic Mountains. And there’s more! With prairie flowers, bald eagles, shorebirds, and historic relics, Ebey’s Landing is one of Washington’s most naturally diverse and historically significant places.

Thank the Great Recession for this 700-plus-acre tract of protected forest—one of the largest undeveloped parcels on the island. This area was slated for high-density housing, but the developer went bankrupt, and the Whidbey Camano Land Trust led a fundraising drive in order to buy it. Fifteen hundred folks pitched in to create this community forest, now containing 7 miles of trails (many old skid roads) perfect for easy strolls and long runs. Many areas in this forest are also protected as a refuge for wildlife.
There are many miles of trails here that are accessible from three different parking lots. Grab a map from the Whidbey Camano Land Trust website or from Greenbank Farm to make sure you never lose your way.

A former Department of Natural Resources property once slated to be logged, Dugualla is now a 586-acre satellite of Deception Pass State Park. Hike or run more than 5 miles of trails here, following old skid roads and newer single-tracks through mature stands of timber, including a couple of old-growth giants. There is also a mile of coastline to walk when the tide is low. And while this property lacks amenities other than trail signs, it also lacks crowds.

Putney Woods, Saratoga Woods and Metcalf Trail System
There is no entry fee to utilize these three connecting trail systems. Local volunteers created these trails and work hard to maintain them. There is a large trailhead parking lot off of Lone Lake Road that leads to a large web of interconnected trails.
There are also a few picnic areas to stop at and rest while enjoying some food. It is a good idea to print off a map and keep it with you so that you can explore the woods and get back safely to your car. Hikers, bikers, and horses are allowed on the trails. It is usually pretty quiet on these trails as they are not overly crowded.

The parking lot at Fort Ebey State Park can get you to Lake Pondilla, the beach, and the Bluff Trail. If you follow the Bluff Trail southward, you can gaze down at the beach and watch for whales, tugboats, and container ships.

Fort Casey, Fort Worden and Fort Flagler together were known as the "Triangle of Fire," a trio of strategically placed fortifications defending the entrance to the Puget Sound at the turn of the 20th Century.
Constructed in the late 1800s, Fort Casey was equipped for defense and used as a training facility up to the mid-1940s. The fort houses a pair of rare 10-inch disappearing guns. While the guns were the height of technology in the early 1900s, improvements in warships and the advent of airplanes soon rendered them obsolete. Two additional 3-inch mounted guns are also on display in their original emplacements. You can explore these batteries to your heart’s content.
So round up your family, friends and history buffs, and step back in time to Fort Casey Historical State Park. From the romantic 1903-vintage lighthouse, with its own interpretive center and gift shop, to the catacomb-like bunkers and batteries, this historic military fort is sure to ignite curiosity.
PARK FEATURES
Fort Casey Historical State Park is a 999-acre marine camping park with 10,810 feet of saltwater shoreline on Puget Sound (Admiralty Inlet); it includes Keystone Spit, a 2-mile stretch of land separating Admiralty Inlet and Crocket Lake.
