San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge

An easy 1.2 mile loop trail provides a rare glimpse of old-growth island forest habitat present in only a few areas in the region. With the exception of the campground area at Rolfe Cove and the loop trail, the island is designated as National Wilderness Area and is closed to public access to protect habitat and wildlife.

A short 0.9 mile trail encircles the island, passing through a variety habitats from rocky shorelines to meadows to mixed forests and allows for many opportunities to view wildlife. Stay on the trail to prevent degradation of the fragile island environment.
