Pleasant Harbor State Park, Marine state park in Jefferson County, US
Pleasant Harbor State Park is a small coastal park on the Hood Canal in Jefferson County with docking facilities for boats. The site spans about 1 acre and provides roughly 120 feet of moorage space along the water's edge for visiting vessels.
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.
This site works solely as a moorage facility where boats can stay up to three consecutive nights on a first-come basis. This system makes it an informal stopping point for passing boaters who don't need advance reservations.
