Rusty Ranch Tree Farm and Forest, Washington

Welcome to our tree farm and working forest.

Looking for an ideal family getaway spot? With our unique location nestled in the foothills of Stuart Mt and the peaceful Squalicum Valley, Rusty Ranch offers easy access to much of our local recreation options yet is only 10 min east of Bellingham. Our camp area is spacious and can can easily accomidate your family and even a couple of friends. Scattered trees offer shade, the large grassy areas provide ample space to roam.

Hike the several miles of nature trails on the hillside and explore our working forest. Placards on the nature trail are part of our self-guided tour and provide information about forestry and the plants and animals that call this their home. Wander through the old growth groves, walk the 50' boardwalk and see the magical Fern Ridge. There are abundant wildflowers and seasonal berries to pick, as well as a variety of fall apples and pears in the old orchard available for self harvest.

Once the site of an old Farmstead, this property had been in the same family since the late 1930's. We purchased it the spring of 2020 and have been working to transform this 110 acre field and forest into an educational nature park and camping spot to be enjoyed by all for years to come.

We hope you will come and stay with us on you next adventure.
