Hike - Washington Park Loop

Washington Park sits on a peninsula at the west end of Fidalgo Island. The 220-acre city park features camping, a boat launch, day use picnic sites and a group tenting area. A scenic paved 2.2-mile loop road winds through the park’s forested hills and meadows with views of the San Juan Islands and Olympic Mountains. Many love to walk the paved loop road, but there is also a very nice trail system that is fun and scenic.

We will be hiking along the trail system. Starting inside the loop near Green Point. From the restrooms, enter the loop road, going past the camp ground entrance. in about 1/4 mile, you will start seeing single parking spots on the right and then a larger parking area on the left. We will meet in this area.
