Trail Description:
This is a great area with many winding and interconnecting trails. They are fairly technical narrow trails with roots and short climbs to deal with. There are many miles of trails making it easy to create your own favorite loop.
How to get there:
From Anacortes take 12th Street towards the San Juan Ferry terminal. 12th will turn into Oaks Street. Turn left onto Georgia Avenue and then right onto West 4th Street. Follow W. 4th up to Cranberry lake.

GReat trails, but I'd like to add to Jakes comment that the reason hikers don't like bikers, and trails get closed, is because of people like him that ride in trails marked for hikers only. Respect the trails and they'll be there for the future.

Great trail network. I'm not sure I agree with the "advanced" rating. There are trails for all skill levels, you determine how hard you want it to be. Pick up a map from Skagit Cycles because there is a lot to ride and there are connections to other trail networks! Trails are well marked and in great condition. Have fun!

the trail is fun for people who are begginers. easy enough, a few fun trails to get the heart going, i advise a heard tail or light full suspension, also if you can get a map, take it, it can get confusing if your not a local. for some fun stuff, take the walking trails if you can find it, no not the flat ones, the ones that start from the top and say no biking, some of those can be cool.

A fun mix, with a challenging surprise of roots and trees and steep climbs. My 10 year old daughter was game enough to keep up, after watching my 14 year old son crash, and then Dad too.... A great mix of trails.

Tight twisty singletrack, lots of roots and technical sections. Recommend getting a map! We got lost a few times but that is part of the fun. Pretty muddy in areas.

This is a great trail for beginners and intermediates. Would be a boring trail for expert riders. There are very nice views of the lake, wetlands and forest on this ride. Lots of trails in this park, not just one. After your ride, you can enjoy a picnic on the lake shore. I rode the trail with my girlfriend and we both enjoyed it alot. Both of us are what I would call intermediate skill mtn. bikers. A good trail to kill 3-4 hours or so. We did encounter a few hikers, but they were friendly. It was sunny an warm when we were there. We did not encounter any bugs when we were there, but I would bring mosquito repellent just in case. Food establishments are nearby--a big plus.
