Jarrell Cove State Park

Jarrell Cove State Park is a waterfront park on Harstine Island with boat access to the southern Puget Sound. The site includes mooring buoys, docks for larger boats, forested campsites, and walking trails through the wooded shoreline.

The park was established in 1953 as a recreational area and received a name revision in 1966 at the request of local residents. This change marked its evolution as a destination for boaters and waterfront visitors.

The park maintains five satellite locations including Eagle Island, Harstine Island, Hope Island, McMicken Island, and Stretch Point for maritime recreation.

Access requires a state pass that can be purchased annually or daily. Boats can be tied at mooring buoys or docked, and tent camping with basic facilities is available for overnight stays.

The park manages several outpost islands that provide additional anchorages throughout the southern Puget Sound region. These satellite locations allow boaters to explore the waterway across multiple landing points.
