Spencer Spit State Park, State park on Lopez Island, United States.

Spencer Spit State Park encompasses 138 acres of land with two sand spits that form a salt chuck lagoon on the eastern shore of Lopez Island.

The land, first homesteaded in the 1870s, passed through several owners until the Spencer family sold it to Washington State in 1967 for park development.

Native American tribes utilized this location for generations as a primary site for harvesting clams, crabs, and fish until 1946.

The park maintains 37 tent camping spaces with fire pits, two group camps, multiple picnic areas, and twelve mooring buoys for maritime travelers.

The park's location features two distinct sand spits that create protected habitats for Bonaparte's gulls, great blue herons, and various marine species.

Location: San Juan County

Inception: 1967
