Trail Specifics:

• Trail is 6 miles long.
• Parking on Spring Street and at the Visitor Center.
• There are two restaurants along the trail, one at the airport and one at the golf course. Restrooms are also available at the Airport Terminal and at the American Camp Visitor Center.
• There is shuttle bus service to American Camp during the summer and taxi service year-round. Make arrangements before going, because cell phone service along the route is not reliable.
• Dogs on leashes are welcome on the trail.

The ACT (American Camp Trail) between Friday Harbor and the American Camp Visitor Center opened to the public in June 2013. It is still a work in progress. Starting on upper Spring Street across from Hartmann Baseball Field, it leads through Airport property, along Golf Course Road and Fairway Drive, along Cattle Point Road sometimes on easements over private property and other times on the road shoulder, then through the Land Bank’s Fraser Homestead Preserve to American Camp.

Five of the nine private landowners between Fairway Drive and the Fraser Homestead Preserve have given easements for trails on their property, and the Fairway Drive Homeowners Association has given a permissive use agreement over their privately-owned Fairway Drive. The Trails Committee and the public are grateful for these public-spirited citizens’ generosity.
