Dosewallips State Park, State park in Jefferson County, US
Dosewallips State Park sits along Hood Canal and covers 425 acres with 5,500 feet (1,680 meters) of saltwater shoreline and 5,400 feet (1,645 meters) of river frontage along the Dosewallips River. The property includes meadow areas, camping facilities, and access to both water environments.
Originally known as Dose Meadows, the land contained homestead sites before becoming a state park. The remnants of old rail beds from historical logging operations remain visible across the landscape.
The park serves as a gathering place where visitors join summer campfire programs and Junior Ranger activities that teach about local wildlife. These programs connect people to the natural environment and its ecosystems through hands-on learning.
The park has 100 tent sites and 40 utility sites with shower facilities and a dump station for RVs. A Discover Pass is required to enter with a vehicle.
The park uniquely combines saltwater and freshwater environments in one location, offering the chance to explore both habitats side by side. This setting enables seasonal activities ranging from shellfish harvesting to river fishing.
