Joseph Whidbey State Park — Saturday, May. 26, 2018

Puget Sound and Islands > Whidbey Island

If you park at the North East parking lot, you can take a nice walk through meadows and a forest down to the beach area. Nice hike through the forest, but be careful. Some stretches have a lot of Stinging Nettle along the path.

Very easy hike. Great for children. Peaceful meadows, tranquil forest. Facilities at south west parking area are adequate. The beach view is magnificent.

Remember: Stinging nettle irritates the skin due to the formic acid. Always hike with a small amount of baking soda. Making a paste of baking soda and water that is quickly rubbed into the irritated area will counter act the formic acid and alleviate some of the irritation.
