Hope Island Marine State Park - Skagit County

The 200-acre island features beaches, meadows, forests, and rock outcroppings reaching an elevation of 157 feet above Skagit Bay.

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission established this protected area to preserve the natural coastal environment of northern Puget Sound.

The island functions as a natural preserve where herons maintain nesting colonies on the southwestern section, contributing to local wildlife preservation.

Four primitive campsites on the north shore bay require water access, with moorage available through five buoys and specific dock spaces.

Cliffs surround most of the island perimeter, creating distinct geographical boundaries between the shoreline and inland natural areas.
