Exploring Orcas Island's Natural Beauty

Orcas Island is just one of the places you might consider when looking at wood cabins. Orcas Island is a horseshoe-shaped island, a green paradise that the locals call the gem of the San Juans. The island is a magical mix of arts and culture, pristine lakes, lush forests, and endless outdoor possibilities. Most of Orcas Island's 57 square miles are rural and hilly, a pleasure for drivers and a challenge for cyclists, with curving roads that wind through forests and past artists' studios, fields with old apple barns, and the occasional turn-of-the-century prune drying barn. You might take the driving tour around Orcas Island to experience all its hidden gems and notable stops.

Outdoor Adventures in Moran State Park

If you go to Orcas Island you might visit one of the nation's most beautiful parks to hike, swim, bike, or go horseback riding through the forest in the 5,252-acre Moran State Park. The park has several lakes and more than 38 miles of hiking trails, making it the perfect place to stay and play year-round. You can hike the rugged old growth trails to see the expansive marine vistas from the summit of Mount Constitution. On your way, you'll want to watch for soaring bald eagles, rabbits, deer, or more than 250 species of birds that can be seen there throughout the year. You can also drive or bike to the observation tower at the top of Mount Constitution, the islands' highest point, for a spectacular view of the island-dotted Salish Sea and snow-capped Mount Baker. You can also head out on the water on a kayak trip (guided or alone), whale-watching tour, or fishing or sailboat charter. You might take the scenic route and consider renting bikes or checking out guided horseback rides.

Art and Community in Olga and Deer Harbor

Olga, Doe Bay, and Deer Harbor. Just south of Moran State Park, you'll find the little hamlet of Olga which is famous for its artists' co-op, Orcas Island Artworks, with an extensive collection of pottery, jewelry, painting, and more from over 50 island artists. You'll find it housed in a historic 1936 strawberry packing plant along with the Catkin Cafe, a cozy eatery renowned for its use of locally grown ingredients. At the farthest western point or Orcas Island, you'll find Deer Harbor the hub for all things marine. You can rent bikes, kayaks, power or sailboats, or take whale/wildlife tours right from Deer Harbor Marina.
