Things to remember

Our state park facilities are for recreational use only and are not intended for commercial activities without a Commercial Use Permit.

Many recreational boaters in Washington are required by law to complete a boating safety course and carry a Washington State Boater Education Card.

Review boating regulations and stay safe on the water. And if you’re on a canoe, kayak or paddleboard, Paddle To Be Seen!

If it's fishing or shellfishing that brings you to the water, don’t forget to get your licenses online from Department of Fish and Wildlife.
