Picnic and day use facilities
Picnic tables are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Camping
Primitive campsites are available on a first come, first serve basis. Campsites on the west side of Jones Island Marine State Park are part of the Cascadia Marine Trail and are only reservable by those arriving by human-powered vessel.
Group camps and Adirondacks are available for reservations.
Hiking
Explore four miles of hiking trails including an ADA-accessible trail through the island's interior. Endless water views greet you at every turn as you wander along the island's perimeter trail.
Boating
Part of the San Juan Islands, navigating these waters takes skill. There is a marked reef at the northeast entrance to North Cove and several unmarked, charted rocks along the southeastern shore. During high atmospheric pressure periods, strong northly winds may cause rough waters at North Cove. While low atmospheric conditions subject South Cove to strong southerly winds.
North and South coves are good for anchoring, expect continuous boat wakes from the heavy boat traffic during summer. The east and west sides of the island do not have good anchorage spots.
Moorage
Seven year-round mooring buoys and 128 linear feet of dock moorage are located at the North Cove. The dock is removed early October through early April to prevent winter storm damage. Phone registration is available at buoys.
Buoys are located at Latitude: 48º 37' 4.99" N (48.6180) Longitude: 123º 2' 47.76" W (-123.0466).
