Beautiful day in the high 50's spent with grandchildren at Cranberry lake reaction area and dock! Built a fire in the outdoor covered stove and roasted marshmallows, which makes for great memories! We were warned by Ranger to NOT use any of the twigs or sticks lying on the ground as that is lawful, and you must bring in your own wood for fire. Such a beautiful park and setting overlooking Cranberry Lake!

Just wonderful! My family (adult kids) visited in March. It was a crisp sunny day. I think it was the first sunny weekend after cold and dreary weeks. Even then, we didn't bump on a lot of people. We only queued a bit for the ferry going home the next day. So, there were nice views. There are some trails, long and short, that you can walk on. Of course, you can walk the bridge. Only a short drive from Seattle. And there were some quaint small towns around Whidbey Island that you can grab lunch. Very much recommend!

If you have only an hour or two to visit the park, consider walking the Lighthouse Loop trail. It’s not strenuous but provides beautiful views of water and the bridge along with all the green, green, green alongside the trail. Be aware that there is a modest charge for parking at the trailhead.

Amazing views and beautiful scenery in full force at this park. The bridge is a must see from underneath. If you look for white balls in the trees, below the bridge, you may see a bald eagle fly by.

We go to Deception Pass every year. It is a great park, with many camping opportunities and some really fantastic views. The only place that i know of where you can eat lunch between a fresh water lake and the Pacific Ocean. The weather is great (in the summer) of course because of this beauty and interesting spaces it is crowded....very crowded...very...crowded. If you want to make a reservation you'll need to make it immediately when they open up. It is definitely worth a visit, just know parking is limited and it can be crowded at times.
