Orcas Island is the largest of the San Juan Islands. Boasting the most diverse
landscape, Orcas offers the best recreational opportunities in the San Juans.
Moran State Park, one of Washington's largest, is a mecca for hikers, bikers,
campers and runners, with over 30 miles of trails spread amongst lakes and waterfalls.
For a real adventure and best view in the San Juans, climb to the 2,409-foot
summit of Mt. Constitution and experience the breathtaking panoramic view. If
it's culture or commerce you're after, head to Eastsound, bustling with a variety
of fine restaurants, galleries, shops, hotels and more. For peace and quiet,
pedal or drive the islands’ rural roads where you're sure to stumble across
one of the many charming villages that offer such a unique slice of Orcas Island
life.
Deer Harbor is hidden at the west end of Orcas Island. This sleepy harbor village
boasts some of the best water views anywhere. From misty morning fogs and breathtaking
sunsets to winding country roads and golden fields, Deer Harbor is definitely
worth a visit on your next island excursion.
