Fort Ebey State Park, State park on Whidbey Island, United States
Fort Ebey State Park is a state park on Whidbey Island with forests, coastal bluffs, and shoreline connected by over 26 miles of trails. The grounds contain military structures from World War II alongside natural landscapes and woodland areas.
The park began in 1942 as a military base built to defend Admiralty Inlet during World War II. Though it served mainly as a training site, the war years left behind bunkers and fortifications that remain visible today.
The concrete bunkers and underground tunnels scattered across the grounds show how coastal defense worked during the 1940s. Walking through these structures gives visitors a sense of what life and duty meant at this military site during wartime.
The park is open daily from morning until dusk, with adequate parking for vehicle access. Trails range from easy to moderate difficulty, so visitors can choose routes matching their fitness level.
The park permits seaweed gathering in spring months under proper licensing, and attracts paragliders who launch from the coastal bluffs. These unexpected activities make the site more than just a hiking destination.
