Deception Pass

Beautiful scenery the color of the water I had never seen before. The water moves fast and the green scenery is magnificent. Park get out and walk the bridge.

SURPRISINGLY, I was able to get parking at the main parking lot off the side of the road right before you get on the bridge. I went on a Saturday afternoon and there was only 3 parking spots left. Anyways what a beautifully constructed bridge with an amazing view. There is a really steep trail to head down by the beach to get a better view. Ughhhh I love Washington

Such a beautiful place. Multiple trails and great mountains views.

Deception Pass State Park is a true Washington gem! The dramatic bridge over swirling waters is the highlight—walking across it offers stunning views of cliffs, islands, and fast-moving tides below. We also enjoyed trails through lush forest, rocky beaches, and peaceful coves. Great for a day of hiking, picnicking, or just taking in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Don’t miss sunset from the bridge—it’s unforgettable!

Epic views! Loved this quick stop on the way to Anacortes. Saw a bald eagle, a seal swimming under the bridge, and enjoyed the walk across the bridges

An absolutely beautiful drive down from Bellingham, hike, and view! Lots of spots to climb but plenty to see from the trail if you prefer a less precarious path

Always a beautiful place to hike. If you have a discover pass you’re good to go just about parking anywhere. Otherwise you may need to be careful where you park. Rocky beaches with some sand, very peaceful. Bridge is awesome.

Had a great time exploring deception pass. Finding parking was almost a pain, but we got lucky. Keep an eye out for the water warnings if you brings pets- quick Google search works. The bathrooms were clean, but bring some hand sanitizer just in case. They had some little hikes which are great for little ones and then a couple with some steepish inclines and declines about a moderate type hike. The bridge walk areas for people to take pictures is a little on the slim side, but my sister and I had backpack and, a dog and people- and us- were able to pass pretty easily. Recommend visiting this spot.
