Fort Ebey State Park

Took the kids here in the late summer and early fall last year. I'd definitely recommend timing your visit so that you get the most sun exposure at this time and avoid after sunset because it gets pretty cold. The views were beautiful and the fort is so neat. I love how the state has left it open for the people to enjoy! No since in preserving history if we can't touch it and learn from it. Makes you feel more a part of it. My kids loved the "spooky tunnel". You'll know what I mean if you visit. There's doors and rooms without lighting- it's awesome. Hide and seek would be amazing here. You can find agates and sand dollars here and weird beetles on the banks. Great place for a kite. There's a little lake with a bench that was in dedication to someone and I recall it being very sweet.

This is a nice campground and would recommend for anyone. It is a good base to explore Whidbey Island. Even with the occasional sound of the jets it was not that bad. A fun thing to do is watch the people fly the gliders.

We spent a few hours here, exploring. Very beautiful. I wish we had more time to hike around, but we visited the fort and walked Bluff trail. We'll have to come back during the later spring or summer months!

A large, lush park with so much wildlife to see (white deer, eagles, many other birds). We came across a fresh eagle kill of a much smaller bird on the shoreline trail off Pondilla Lake. Then we took PNT trail up the hill and met with Kyle's Kettle Bernie heading back down to Old Gun Battery Trail to Bluff trail. As other reviews have noted, the intricate latticework of trails seems daunting at first, but just keep a trail map with you (or a photo of one) and then it's fun to explore. Note: if you don't like being on heavily trafficked mtn biking trails, stay to the west and south: the locals told us that the closer you get to the highway, the more bikes.
