Explore two fun, family- friendly trails not far from the Washington State Ferries terminal in Anacortes. One is a paved path along Guemes Channel, providing excellent views of Guemes and Cypress islands. The other follows a boardwalk through rich wetlands bordering a beautiful sandy beach.
Two trails branch out from this cul-de-sac, both popular with locals and expanding. Start with the Guemes Channel Trail, which leads east along a flat paved path. Enjoy stunning views of Cypress and Guemes Islands, and catch glimpses of Blakely and Lummi Islands, as well as Entrance Mountain on Orcas Island. Don't miss the interpretive signs and the majestic trees shading the path.
The path ends at 0.45 mile (0.7 km). Locals, community leaders, and trail advocates are working hard to extend this trail all the way to downtown Anacortes, connecting it with the Tommy Thompson Trail and if it ever happens it will become an amazing asset.
