The 118 acres of Saratoga Woods includes diverse landscapes. The easterly portionis a high bluff that provides dramatic, unobstructed views of Saratoga Passage, Camano Island, MT. Baker and the North Cascades. The eight acres on the east side of Saratoga Road is an old farmstead and includes an extensive wetland complex. The upland area is ideally suited for a picnic area, trailhead sign and informational kiosk. The remaining 110 acres include one of the most impressive second-growth forests remaining on Whidbey Island.

This project includes the donation of a pedestrian trail easement across a contiguous, privately-owned 40-acre parcel. The donated trail easement leads to an extensive network of existing trails winding through adjacent, publicly-owned natural lands on the 600-acre Goss Lake Woods county park. The Friends of Saratoga Woods were not only instrumental in getting the property protected, but also maintain the property and its popular trail system.
