Directions:
Take Highway 20 to Whidbey Island, and turn right (west) at the first stoplight once on the island. Follow Deception Pass State Park road to the North and West Beach parking lot. Discovery Pass required.
If on Whidbey Island, turn left (west) at the light onto Cornet Bay Rd/Deception Pass State Park road.
The Hike:
We will cover about 5 miles with an elevation gain of about 800 ft. We will start on the North Beach Trail, which connects to the Goose Rock Trail. We will take the Goose Rock Perimeter Trail out. We will take the Lower Forest Trail to the Discovery Trail. This will take us back to North Beach Trail and the parking lot. The path is narrow at times but not too difficult. The hike will be canceled for high winds or lightning. We will hike if it's raining, but not if it's raining heavily.
