Activites

Ideas

  • Land:
    • 🥾 Hikes
      • Obstruction Pass Park (beautiful beach during high tide). Entrance to park is 30-min walk from our place.
      • Coho preserve, nice short hike next to creek/cascades. The entrance to park is a 40-min walk from our place, right next to Lascaux Cafe and Buck Bay. Fun to go there before or after eating.
      • Mountain Lake to top of Mt Constitution. Beautiful lake views and then amazing views of Mt Baker, Lummi Island, and other islands at the top of the mountain. Best on a non-cloudy day.
      • Walk around Mountain Lake. Fun to see the islands inside the lake. Also would be cool to kayak here. I think they rent kayaks too.
      • Walk around Cascade Lake. Most popular hike, perhaps.
      • Turtle Back Mt, has awesome views of multiple islands on the west side. 30-min drive to trailhead.
    • ⛳️ Mini golf https://www.orcasislandminigolf.com/
    • 👩‍🌾 Farmers Market on Sat morning https://orcasislandfarmersmarket.org/
    • 🚶‍♀️ Walk around Eastsound
    • 🪴 Orcas Pottery. Beautiful pottery store https://www.orcasislandpottery.com/
    • 🚴‍♀️Bike around West Sound (rent bikes in Eastsound).
    • 🚘Drive to the top of Mt Constitution
  • Water
    • 🏠 Sea kayaking from our beach: we have one 2-person kayak and one 1-person kayak, but they are lake kayaks, so not super stable if it's wavey, safest to stay near shore.
    • ⛵️Sailing tour:
    • 🛶 Sucia Island kayak tour https://www.outerislandx.com/kayaking
    • 🚣‍♀️ Kayaking in Mountain Lake to check out inside islands. I believe they rent kayaks at Cascade Lake and take them over there.
  • 🏠 Home
    • Cornhole
    • Bocce
    • Board games (Codenames, UpWords, Ticket to Ride)
    • Gardening: help us pick some lettuce and radishes from our garden
