Padilla Bay — Sunday, Jun. 29, 2025

Puget Sound and Islands > Bellingham Area
Padilla Bay with Flowers

Beautiful day for a hike on the Padilla Bay Trail in Skagit County off Highway 20 between Burlington and Anacortes. Trail is 4.25 miles long roundtrip and very flat. The trail is all dirt and gravel with no big rocks. Bikers, Hikers and Joggers can be found. There is total sun exposure with little to no shade and no water so bring a hat and plenty of water if hiking later in the day. Lots of birds can be found especially during migration season.

Checkout the video of this hike below or checkout my Vimeo Channel Link below with over 400 other hikes I have done in Washington and beyond.

As always get out and see this beautiful state and enjoy your hiking.

Take Care,

Mike
