You need to drive up to the highest point on Fidalgo Island. You drive up the winding road through the wilderness with many trails to the top of Mt Erie where you come to the out look to see the San Juan Islands. Beautiful!!

We’ve been coming to Anacortes for years to get to our boat. It wasn’t until a recent crummy weather weekend that we started poking around Anacortes beyond Commercial Street and the old downtown. Wow! A few nice but short trails and incredible views. The very tip top is rocky and during our last visit some model R/C monster truck folks were putting their vehicles thru their paces. What fun! Weather permitting you can see Mt Baker, the San Juan’s, etc. The views are just outstanding. A great place to chill (sometimes literally) and unwind.

Love this park and what it offers. There is a play ground, beach, day use pavilions, restrooms, boat launch, tow vehicle with boat trailer parking, campground and a loop that offers lots of options for hiking, biking and walking. The restrooms aren't top of the line facilities but they are good enough for me and keeps me coming back. We come out as much as we can to walk around the loop or access the beaches that are available in the loop. We're hoping to get out there more for camping.
