Tranquility Hidden in the Woods: Exploring Little Cranberry Lake
Nestled deep within Anacortes Community Forest Lands, Little Cranberry Lake is a local treasure that’s often missed by the average visitor. Unlike the more widely known Whistle Lake, Little Cranberry offers a quieter, more immersive experience in nature—ideal for those seeking solitude, still waters, and forested serenity.
The lake is accessible by a network of hiking and biking trails that weave through mossy evergreens and rocky ridges. As you approach the water, you’ll hear only the rustle of trees and the occasional splash of a fish jumping. The trail around the lake is moderate and varied, with spots that overlook the shoreline and others that dip into shadowy, fern-filled glens.
