Bay View State Park, State park in Skagit County, Washington, US.
The 25-acre park extends along 1,285 feet of Padilla Bay shoreline, offering views of the San Juan Islands and Olympic Mountains.
The land belonged to Pat-Teh-Us, a Noo-Wha-Ah Indian chief, before William J. McKenna established the town in 1884 and donated it in 1925.
The park connects to the Padilla Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, supporting scientific research and environmental education about marine ecosystems.
The campground provides 76 sites divided into three areas, including utility spaces with bay views and standard spots with parking, stoves, and tables.
During low tides, Padilla Bay transforms into an extensive mud flat, creating distinct conditions for marine life observation and shoreline exploration.
