Begin at Cama Beach State Park. The trail to Cranberry Lake is gentle and well- groomed. At the West end of the lake a weaker trail continues along the North edge allowing a bit more travel. Visitors can then head South on the Cross Island Trail to the edge of Camano State Park.

Fun hike taken early morning with our kids (almost 3 yr old and 10 month old). We entered at the Dry Lake Rd Trailhead, which is downhill the entire way then uphill the way back. Quite a few spots with massive mud puddles—made it difficult with a stroller, but otherwise it was fine.
It’s a nice easy trail and light traffic. I would give higher rating but its not all old growth forest and I’m spoiled by some of the other Washington trails.
easy hike, very peaceful. big beaver pond at the end
Just did a little bit of the trail. It was quiet, easy and peaceful!
