Some places just feel like magic... Welcome to Little Cranberry Lake — tucked away in the forested hills of Anacortes, WA. Just 15 minutes from the busy ferry terminal and the crowds heading to Orcas Island, this hidden gem is peaceful, wild, and full of adventure. 🌲💧(gifted) @rocpaddleboards We spent the afternoon paddleboarding across crystal-clear water, weaving past floating fairy houses (yes, really!) and watching dragonflies dance over the surface. Whether you’re into kayaking, swimming, fishing, or hiking through the surrounding trails — this spot has something for everyone. And the best part? It feels like your own secret sanctuary. 🛶✨ 📍Just minutes down the road, you’ll find: • Whale watching at Point Deception • The ferry to Orcas Island • Beaches, trails, and coastal views that feel straight out of a dream RV life has taught us that the best moments often come from slowing down and saying yes to the detour. Save this hidden gem for your next Washington adventure. 🗺️ And if you’ve got a favorite secret lake or forest trail — drop it in the comments. We love exploring your favorite places, too! ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Hi, we’re Vern & Kati — young(ish) empty nesters living and traveling full-time in our RV. After over 11 years of nomadic living, we’ve learned that the best time to live your dream life is right now. We’re exploring new places, trying incredible food, and making friends everywhere we go. We didn’t wait for retirement — we packed up, hit the road, and started crossing off our bucket list one stop at a time. Follow along for RV tips & trips, unforgettable travel itineraries, encouragement for your empty nest years, and a reminder to dust off your bucket list and start chasing those dreams. ✨ #LittleCranberryLake #HiddenWashington #RVLife #NomadNesters #PNWadventures #BucketListLiving #FullTimeRVers #EmptyNestAdventures #PaddleboardPNW #RVTravelDreams #ExploreWashington #ForestMagic #OrcasIsland #TravelTogether #LiveYourDreamNow #emptynest #anacortes #paddleboarding #paddleboards #washington #pnw
