Camano Island State Park, Kayak Point Park — Thursday, Jan. 2, 2014

Puget Sound and Islands > Bellingham Area

Kayak Point: The actual trail itself included stairs, and steep inclines/declines that appeared to be in disrepair. We could not access the trail, itself, so we opted to walk through the park, beach and pier areas. Very nice walk, easy terrain, I recommend that you dress warmly if you plan to be there long, or to spend much time on the pier,as the wind is bitingly cold. We did see quite a few types of duck, geese and seagull, as well as one seal from, or around the pier. The only two adverse conditions that I listed in this report, were specifically for Kayak Point's inaccessible trail, itself. Camano Island State Park: Scenic drive to a very nice beginners/easy hike. We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening there, finishing our trip by watching a beautiful sunset over Whidbey Island. The terrain is wet, rocky, uneven shoreline, once you reach the bottom of the semi-well kept staircase, but not difficult to cross. We walked the entire length of the visible beach in a relatively quick time frame. The photo opportunities here, and at Kayak Point were very good, I would recommend both locations, and look forward to Kayak Point re-opening their actual trail. We did not have any children or pets with us, but saw many people escorting both. We started at Kayak Point & finished at Camano Island, I have attempted to locate both trail heads on the map below.
