Serene. Playful. Hush-Hush.
Get a slice of paradise that's still flying under the radar.
Guess what's in the pocket of the Pacific Northwest.
Anderson Island is the secret the Pacific Northwest doesn't want you to know.
Most seekers of Pacific Northwest beauty chase the well-trodden paths, often completely overlooking the southernmost part of Puget Sound in favor of other attractions in, say, Tacoma.
But that's their loss and your gain.
This hidden gem, bathed in simplicity, echoes the days when life was uncomplicated. It's high time Anderson Island became your own secret to share.
Laid-Back & Low-Key.
As Every Getaway Should Be.
No more stressing over itineraries or squeezing into crowded tourist spots. Anderson Island is all about slowing down and taking a moment to enjoy what truly matters.
What To Do IN ANDERSON ISLAND
GET ACTIVE
Anderson Island's seven public parks and hike trails are a treat for those who need to get their steps in. Trails here range from the 3-mile stretch at Jacob's Point Park to the 0.4-mile jaunt in Idie Ulsh Park. Many of these trails are also dog-friendly (more on that later).
If you're feeling competitive, why not challenge a buddy to a game of tennis or basketball at Tom White Park or Riviera Interlachen Park? Pickleball is all the rage right now, and the courts at these parks are set up for that as well.
For those who want to feel the breeze in their hair (or just need to get from point A to point B), Anderson Island is super bike-friendly. The terrains can get a little hilly, but at least there's little to no traffic.
From the easy rides near the ferry terminal to the challenging steep descent down to the Riviera Marina, you'll find paths that match your mood and skill. Even daring souls will meet their match at the off-road bicycle course at Jane Cammon Park.
BOND WITH FAMILY
Anderson Island is all about unplugging from the fast pace of life and reconnecting with those who matter.
Delve into the community spirit at The Old Schoolhouse, or let the kids run wild and free at Russ Common Play Field. For those moments where you want a blend of nature and play, Lowell Johnson Park offers scenic beauty coupled with recreational facilities.
TAKE A DIP
Great swimming and jet skiing spots can be found at Florence Lake, while Lake Josephine provides lakeside picnic areas and playgrounds.
If you're just happy to drink in the vista, Jacob's Point Park and Andy's Marine Park provide access to tree-lined beaches. You can also reach Puget Sound via the Oro Bay Yacht Club, the Anderson Island Ferry Dock, or the Riviera Marina.
EXPLORE WITH YOUR PUP
Anderson Island isn't just a paradise for humans; our furry pals are in for a treat too!
Explore the pristine greens of Andy's Wildlife Park or let your pet frolic around at Freddie's Off-Leash Dog Park. Jane Cammon Park and Tom's Park are pet-friendly as well, and the plethora of sights and smells at Idie Ulsh Park are a canine dream.
