Activities
Features
The 68-acre Frazer Homestead Preserve was acquired in 2006 to protect farmland and scenic views immediately adjacent to the American Camp unit of San Juan Island National Historic Park. The bulk of the Preserve is leased for agricultural use to a local farmer. It is also the home of restoration efforts focused on increasing breeding grounds for the endangered Island Marble Butterfly through planting mustard plants. The Preserve earns its name from two brothers, Robert and William Frazer, who homesteaded in the vicinity.

The trail offers views across the fields to old homesteads, distant islands, and Mount Baker. To protect livestock adjacent to the trail, visitors must be sure to leash dogs.
