Kinney Point State Park

Kinney Point State Park is a marine reserve located at the south end of Marrowstone Island, combining forested uplands with rocky shoreline. The protected area spans approximately 27 hectares and provides direct access to Puget Sound waters.

Indigenous peoples inhabited this coastal area for centuries, relying on marine resources as a foundation for their communities. The designation as a protected state park in recent times reflects ongoing interest in preserving the shoreline and its natural character.

The park integrates into the Cascadia Marine Trail system, promoting non-motorized water activities and environmental preservation principles.

Access is only by boat, making it best suited for paddlers and sailors who are comfortable navigating coastal waters. Visitors should check tidal conditions and come prepared for variable weather typical of the region.

The waterfront campsites here welcome only paddlers and sailors, keeping motorized access out of the area entirely. This approach creates an unusually quiet setting where wind and human-powered travel remain the only ways to explore.
