Triton Cove State Park, State park with saltwater shoreline in Jefferson County, United States.
Triton Cove State Park is a shoreline park with direct access to Hood Canal waters in Jefferson County. The site offers basic facilities including a boat dock, picnic tables, and parking for vehicles with trailers.
The area grew from a 1930s gas station and shop into a fishing resort before becoming a state park in 1990. This transformation shows how coastal use changed over several decades.
Residents and travelers gather here year-round to catch crabs and collect shellfish, traditions that define how people use the shoreline. The simple setup of the park reflects its role as a working place for these everyday coastal activities.
The park requires a Discover Pass to enter and is open year-round for visitors. Access works best on foot or by boat, since facilities sit right along the water and trails are short.
The boat dock is removed and reinstalled with the seasons to adjust to changing water levels. Visitors returning across different times of year will notice how the setup shifts with the water.
