Hiking the San Juan Islands: Island Hikes and Walks in San Juan, Skagit and Island Counties

The famed San Juan Islands of Northwest Washington State offer some of the most charming, scenic and naturally diverse landscapes--and seascapes--anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. A host of parks, trails, beaches, and protected wildlands are available to the public to enjoy and help preserve for future generations. And that means excellent opportunities for hiking.

Dozens of islands offer a wide range of easy walks and challenging hikes, from a sandy beach or rocky shore, to an old-growth forest, lake, meadow or mountain summit. But the hiking doesn't stop at the San Juan County line.

This guide also includes listings and maps for the surrounding archipelago, including Whidbey, Camano, Fidalgo, Cypress, and more in neighboring Skagit and Island Counties--plus parks, viewpoints, water access, and campgrounds. Enjoy them all--all year long!
