Pleasant Harbor State Park is a one-acre moorage facility off Highway 101, two miles south of Brinnon in Jefferson County, Washington. It serves fishing, boating and scuba diving vessels only and offers no other services. The adjoining Black Point Peninsula separates Pleasant Harbor from Hood Canal.
This facility was established in 1955 by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission to provide boat access to the Hood Canal. The creation reflected early efforts to open the region's coastal resources to the public.
The waters here support fishing, crabbing, and shrimping that are deeply rooted in local traditions. These activities shape how people interact with the Hood Canal and remain central to the area's way of life.
The park is accessible during warmer months with longer hours and shorter hours during colder seasons. Visitors need a Discover Pass to use the facility, as this is required for all Washington state parks.
