View from Doe Island State Park

STATE MARINE PARK GEMS

DOE ISLAND STATE PARK

Information: - A beautiful small island for a picnic or overnight. Only a few boats have access from the small dock. Doe Island State Park covers 6 acres with 2,000 feet of saltwater shoreline.

Access: -Only by boat. There is a small 60-foot dock and a 31-foot connecting access ramp. There are no mooring buoys (buoys in the area are all private). There are five beautiful dispersed campsites, nice walking trails, but no drinking water available.


Comments:
-This little state park is often a favorite of those visiting Washington's marine state parks. Looking for a perfect little spot for a weekend? Perhaps a small island where you and the kids or grandchildren can have a beautiful campsite complete with a picnic table and a fire-ring? While enjoying the island, take a walk on the short loop trail and see if you can find the Native American " canoe pullout" archeological site on the north shoreline.

CSome of the finest gems come in the smallest size, and so it is with Doe Island State Park. This little jewel sits just off the eastern side of Orcas Island. As befitting the finest gems, pictures can say far more than words.

There are trails that lure one to walk the island, and with time, marvelous places to stop and enjoy the views.
