Larrabee State Park

The 2,748-acre park extends along Samish Bay with 8,100 feet of saltwater shoreline, dense forests, and mountain trails reaching elevations of 1,940 feet.

Charles Larrabee and his wife Frances contributed waterfront property to establish Washington's first state park in 1915, initially named Chuckanut State Park.

The park maintains an amphitheater and educational programs focused on local ecology, conservation efforts, and outdoor skills throughout the seasons.

Visitors can access 51 standard tent sites, 26 utility sites, and eight primitive camping areas, with reservations available nine months in advance from May to September.

Clayton Beach contains distinct sandstone formations and tidepools, accessed through a newly constructed trail with a pedestrian bridge across railroad tracks.
