Cutts Island State Park, State park island in Carr Inlet, Washington, US.

Cutts Island State Park is a small state-protected marine area in Carr Inlet covering roughly two acres with exposed clay cliffs and a curved beach that appears at low tide. The entire island sits surrounded by water and is accessible only by boat.

Cutts Island was named Crow Island by explorer Peter Puget in 1792 for the crows he found there in abundance. In 1841 it became Scotts Island, after Thomas Scott, quartermaster of the Wilkes expedition. The belief that Native American tribes placed their dead in canoes in the forks of trees gave rise to the name Deadman's Island; the origin of the name Cutts Island is unknown.
