Pass Lake is a short distance north of Deception Pass. Pass Lake Loop Trail doesn't loop around Pass Lake, it loops around a low hill to the west of the lake. There's less than 400 feet of elevation change as you hike along the 2-mile trail.
Most of the hike is along a wooded trail but a short distance is along a right-of-way on private property. This appears to have been partially cleared for development a few years ago (2011?) but then abandoned:
Along the loop trail, you can choose to head north towards Ginnett Hill:
Ginnett Trail meanders down into Naked Man Valley and up the other side to a trailhead at the end of Ginnett Road. The elevation change is less than the loop trail but it feels steeper going up and down the valley. It's about 1-½ miles from the Pass Lake parking lot to the Ginnett Road trailhead.
There's a concrete foundation near the end of the trail. Not sure if there was ever a home there or if one was started and never finished. You can see the north end of Pass Lake in the distance:
Now you've got to hike back to the parking lot the way you came:
