Through the Woods: Langley to Freeland

When setting out from Langley for an island back roads adventure, head north along Saratoga Road for incredible views of Saratoga Passage as you weave through the woods. Enjoy the views in glances as this road demands your full attention to navigate its charming bends.

To add to your adventure, stop at the trailhead for the Saratoga Woods. Several trails are favorites of the locals.

When it seems you’ll soon run out of land, the road takes a hard left and becomes East Harbor Road, a straighter shot along the banks of Holmes Harbor to one side and forest or farmland to the other. Many other roads connect across this triangle of land, and several abut forest reserves or walking trails.
