Confirmed from Robert Y. Pratt Preserve at Ebey's Landing'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.
Farms, houses & stores built by 19th-century settlers dot this scenic reserve along the sound.

Ebey's Landing is a breathtaking blend of history and natural beauty on Whidbey Island. The coastal bluffs offer stunning views of the Puget Sound, Olympic Mountains, and nearby farmland. The hiking trails are well-maintained and provide a serene escape into nature.
Absolutely wonderful hike! We took the scenic route through the preserve down to the beach. If my smart watch is to be believed, about 5 miles round trip total. Definitely recommend it to any that can handle traversing some decent inclines + declines with a bit of loose sand.
What a beautiful, not too strenuous hike! Incredible views for the entire duration of the trail, plus it's all out in the open which means tons of time to soak up some sun. One of the more interesting loops I've done, half being along a beach. Perfect for a sunny day and getting away from the city.
We did the bluff and beach hike. Oh boy... so much to see! What a great way to spend the day exploring and getting some exercise! 👍👍🤗 Some sections of the trail are tight, so please watch your sep and be mindful of other people coming the opposite way. Watch for eagles and ravens! So much fun seeing them!
