Explore the quieter side of Deception Pass State Park on the Old Hoypus Hill Logging Road – Fern Gully loop, an easy 3.1-mile (5.0 km) hike with just 183 feet (56 metres) of elevation gain, typically completed in about 1 hour and 19 minutes. This trail winds through a diverse forest, showcasing majestic old-growth Douglas-fir trees and younger stands of red alders. The Fern Gully section lives up to its name, immersing you in a lush, green world of abundant ferns, offering a serene escape from the everyday.
To start your adventure, head to the Cornet Bay area within Deception Pass State Park, where the trail is easily accessible. While the Old Hoypus Hill Logging Road is generally smooth, be prepared for potentially muddy or wet sections, especially in areas like Little Alder, which can occasionally be submerged. This loop is a fantastic option for families and beginners looking for a peaceful forest walk without significant challenges.
This less-traveled portion of Deception Pass State Park is part of the extensive Hoypus Point network, known for its secluded nature and rich history. The northern half of Hoypus Point is home to one of Washington's largest remaining old-growth forests, providing a unique opportunity to experience ancient woodlands. You might even catch glimpses of Mount Erie and Mount Baker from certain viewpoints, adding to the scenic rewards of this tranquil hike.
