"It's all about getting out on the water at Moran State Park, which is set in Puget Sound on the stunning Orcas Island. With over 5,000 acres of terrain, the activities are endless and the scenery unbeatable (don't miss a journey up Mount Constitution for views over the San Juan archipelago). The best spot to lay your head is Southend Campground, where every campsite is positioned right along the shoreline. You'll have access to showers and bathrooms, but if you want to glam it up a bit, you can book one of the campground's canvas tents with real beds." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Beautiful old park. Plenty of tables, waterfalls, bbq pits, bathrooms, camping & a big (Cascade amongst others) lake.

One of the best WA state parks that we can do both hiking and kayaking with just walking distance from the campsite. The lake is beautiful and great for swimming and paddle boards. You can take a short jump from the bridge by the lagoon. The ice cream shop by the beach is also a nice touch to cool off summer days. Hard to do everything in one day so need to plan the trip way ahead, but it’s a must visit for Orcas Island.

When you're from sea level east coast, hiking an actual altitude is the best! The forest is enchanting. The lake is breathtaking.

Beautiful park, hard to believe this is part of the STATE park complex in WA. Highly recommend. Book ferry and lodging in advance as this is in high demand.

Such beautiful trails for walking, running, riding. Most are heavily shaded, so well suited for summer. We were delighted to see no trash on the 15 miles we walked. Walking among trees >100 years old puts your life issues in a bit of perspective. Trails are well marked and of varying ability level. The various falls are close enough together to take them in on a single hike. None are tall; all have their charm. The lakes are marvelously clear and inviting. The view on top is panoramic. The location offers plenty of rocks and a few picnic benches for lunch or snacks.
