The Trillium Community Forest has three access points to the forest. One of the easiest places is the Smugglers Cove Trailhead: On Whidbey Island, coming from the north on Highway 525, turn right onto Smugglers Cove Road, just before Greenbank Farm. Follow Smugglers Cove Rd for 5.2 miles. The parking lot is on the left.
Seasonal Note: Between October to December, the area is open to hunting and closed to hikers for their safety. Check the website before visiting to ensure the forest is open.
"Trillium Community Forest has 721 forested acres that can be explored from the seven miles of trails provided for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking. Large areas are protected as a refuge for wildlife. The Land Trust is actively working to improve the habitat quality of the forest. Protection was a joint effort by the Land Trust, community, and Island County. There are lots of fun ways to vary your routes here! Be sure to check the map at each trailhead kiosk when you visit, as the trail network is somewhat intricate, and some may dead-end at private property. Maps are also available on the Whidbey Camano Land Trust webite or stop by Greenbank Farm and pick a map from their office."
