Philchuck trails closed

On December 17 we discovered that the Pilchuck trails from Bracken road are closed until further notice. No information about when they will re-open.

Christmas Ride

The day after Christmas was a great day for riding. We headed out about 11:00am to let things thaw a little and it actually warmed up nicely. Anacortes community forest lands are great trails. The trail access from heart lake is great for horses. We had a nice two hour ride from heart lake to Whistle lake. I believe there are 5,000 acres of trails. Maps are available at the parks and recreation office in anacortes.
