The trails here are mostly in good condition. The lighthouse point area has some overgrown trail. If you look at a trail map, just stay on the one that is the most south and you’ll have no issues. Areas of the North Beach trail are still flooded so we mostly walked on the actual beach. Beautiful area to explore. Goose Rock is pretty cool but would’ve been nicer on a clearer day. Jets were flying overhead from the whidbey base for most of the day but we weren’t expecting complete silence and solitude here so it didn’t bother us much. Great area for sunset hikes, plenty of view points to the west. We only encountered a handful of people, mostly at north beach. Mud in places but I didn’t get my feet dirty in trail runners. The bridge is having some construction done so you do have to deal with some banging and machine noises, as well as a huge platform under the bridge which makes it slightly less visually appealing. All in all it was a great way to spend a day, got in 7 miles worth of trail.
