Description
This loop trail combines several trails, specifically the Road Trail, North Loop, and Forest Trail. Most of the trails can accommodate two people side-by-side which is nice, though part of the North Loop is single file. The inner loop trail, as shown on the map, is 2.5 miles. If you take the full outer North Loop trail and skip the inner Forest Trail then this adds on another mile. The trails aren't marked at all so take a good look at the map before you go.
History & Background
The trails of Camano Ridge Forest Preserve were formalized in 1996 when the Department of Natural Resources permitted FOCIP (Friends of Camano Island Parks) to create a half-mile access walking trail from Can Ku Rd across two small parcels of land that connected to the larger piece of land. FOCIP, with the help of community members completed the trail in 1997.
