Confirmed from Anacortes Community Forest Lands North's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Expansive park network encompassing over 2,800 acres of wetlands, meadows, forests & lakes.
What runners say about Anacortes Community Forest Lands North
“Great place, good fishing, absolutely beautiful”
“Wonderful, smarvelous piece of preserved natural forest with a well-marked series of trails.”
Anacortes's most wonderful areas...you can ride your horse, mountain bike, motorcycle (in some areas) and bring the kids/dogs...the beauty is all around. There is old growth trees, lakes and other amazing sights.
Wonderful, smarvelous piece of preserved natural forest with a well-marked series of trails. I've visited four times over the last week and taken a different route every time. Thank yOu to those who set this land aside and made and maintain the trails.
A beautiful park! There was a wide path that went through the picturesque forest, plus several smaller trails that branched off from the wide trail. I didn't get to spend much time here, so I will need to come back another day, but I really enjoyed the time I did have here. Beautiful. No motorcycles permitted.
Beautiful forest with lakes and wetlands. Had the opportunity to mountain bike on permitted trails and felt priviliged to experience this gem. What a wonderful asset for the Annacortes community.
