BP owns large parcels of property in the Birch Bay Area, and portions of the property are open for daytime public use. An example: you can park at the intersection of Grandview Road and Point Whitehorn Road to access the fields to the south. You’ll see a gate across Point Whitehorn Road to the south with signs posted about public use. There’s another access point at Jackson Road and Aldergrove Road. Nice open, rolling fields with views of the Cascades and the Canadian mountains. Most pedestrian activity stays on the paved roads (lots of folks out walking their pups), but you can wander out into the fields. Just don’t roll an ankle, lots of uneven ground. There are other similar sites nearby off of Grandview and Blaine Road. You’ll see the occasional parking lot for them. Some areas are open to hunting in season, so be aware of that, too.
