Discover Trail, Deception Pass State Park

There is a short hike that one can take from a parking lot near North Beach to the Cornet Bay Environmental Learning Center.  It is relatively flat with gentle inclines. 
The hike goes under Highway 20.
You can frequently hear the rumble of delivery trucks as they make their way to Oak Harbor.  When you arrive at  Cornet Bay, wander around a bit near the coastline for views of Mt. Baker.
There are plenty of trees to keep you looking skyward.
About midpoint on the hike, a branch goes north and up, to the top of Goose Rock.
The vege-
tation is lush.
The next time you are at Deception Pass State Park, drive toward North Beach.  Park at a small area on the right at a curve in the road.  Head out under the highway and enjoy the hike.
