I visited this for a trail run, it was a lovely place that wasn't really on my radar.
I was on Whidbey specifically to visit the fiber lab at Abundant Earth Fiber, a really cool place if you enjoy any sort of fiber arts. I stopped by their space first and while talking to one of the owners, she recommended this area when I told her I was planning to take a trail run next. She specifically told me to check out the labyrinth, which was really lovely. I realized that I had never actually walked a labyrinth before, and I found it a lovely chance for reflection.
The Whidbey Institute has maps online and at a few spots around the trail. Most (but not all) trail junctions are marked. I quickly learned that any trail that didn't look well traveled was not a true trail. I took a few short mistaken detours.
It was a lovely spot for some trail running training. I'm sure I'll be back next time I'm on the island.
