Rockport State Park, Ancient forest state park in Skagit County, US.

The 632-acre public recreation area contains tall Douglas fir trees reaching heights of 250 feet at the foot of Sauk Mountain.

The Sound Timber Company sold the land and timber to Washington state in 1935 for one dollar, preserving the old-growth forest.

The David Douglas Historical Marker within the park commemorates the horticulturist who identified the Douglas fir tree species in 1825.

Visitors need a Discover Pass for vehicle access, costing 30 dollars annually or 10 dollars for a single day visit.

The forest remains untouched by logging, creating a dense canopy that limits sunlight from reaching the ground throughout the park.

Location: Skagit County

Inception: 1961

Shares border with: Skagit Bald Eagle Natural Area Preserve
