Saddlebag Island State Park, Marine state park in Skagit County, United States.

Saddlebag Island State Park encompasses 26 acres of natural land with 6,750 feet of shoreline along the waters of Padilla Bay.

The United States Exploring Expedition of 1841, under Charles Wilkes, mapped the island as part of the Porpoise Rocks before its acquisition in 1974.

The park maintains four primitive camping sites where visitors connect with nature through activities like hiking, swimming, fishing, and wildlife observation.

Access to the island requires a boat, and visitors need to monitor tidal changes in Padilla Bay to prevent vessel stranding during their stay.

The island features two distinct rocky elevations connected by a narrow strip of land, creating a natural formation that influenced its current name.
