Rasar State Park, State park along Skagit River, United States
Rasar State Park covers 180 acres on the north bank of the Skagit River, eight miles west of Concrete, with 4,000 feet of river shoreline. Its 3.7 miles of hiking trails, one mile of them ADA-accessible, run through woodland; campsites and cabins sit within the park.
The park began in 1984 following a generous donation from the Rasar family that formed the core of the property. Subsequent land purchases expanded its size and protection over the following decades.
The park's name honours Peter Rasar, the first known member of the Rasar family to settle in the area; Daniel Rasar gave 120 acres for park use in 1984. The land passed from The Nature Conservancy to the state in 1986, and the park was dedicated on July 12, 1997, after construction from 1993 to 1997 used locally found materials.
The park lies on the north bank of the Skagit River, eight miles west of Concrete off Cape Horn Road. Camping is in campsites and cabins, and 3.7 miles of trails include one mile of ADA-accessible path. The 4,000 feet of river shoreline and the 40 acres north of Cape Horn Road are reached on foot from the camping area.
During colder months, bald eagles gather along the river and use the trees as resting spots during migration or winter residency. This seasonal concentration makes the park an excellent viewing location for bird watchers.
