Our last full day in Anacortes after work was filled with more walks, bike rides, and a charming discovery of a new place to explore in the future. Located near the ferry terminal, up the hill, is Cranberry Lake. The signs point out hiking and bike trails around the lake.
The lake is part of the Anacortes Community Forest Lands (ACFL), a 2,800-acre preserve within the city limits of Anacortes. Launching kayaks are easily accomplished from the sandy bank near the parking lot.
At one end of the lake is a spillway, also near the parking lot. The road to the lake is gravel and is less than a mile. The canopy of trees over the road is beautiful.
