Moran State Park, State park on Orcas Island, United States
The 5,252-acre park contains five freshwater lakes, more than 38 miles of hiking trails, and Mount Constitution with its stone observation tower at 2,409 feet.
Seattle shipbuilder Robert Moran donated the initial 2,700 acres in 1921, and the Civilian Conservation Corps constructed facilities, roads, and trails during the 1930s.
The observation tower design follows the architectural patterns of Russian watchtowers from the Caucasus Mountains, reflecting early 20th-century National Park Service construction methods.
Visitors can choose from 124 standard campsites, access multiple swimming areas at Cascade Lake, and utilize facilities including showers, picnic areas, and boat launches.
Mount Constitution represents the highest point in the San Juan Islands, offering views extending to Mount Baker, the North Cascades, and Vancouver Island.
