Things to Do
Washington state parks offer incredible diversity — from rain-soaked old-growth forests and volcanic Cascade landscapes to arid canyonlands and island-dotted Puget Sound waters. Popular activities include hiking through temperate rainforests, beachcombing on wild Pacific shores, kayaking the San Juan Islands, camping beneath towering Douglas firs, fishing for salmon and steelhead, and cross-country skiing in winter.
Best Time to Visit
Western Washington is driest June through September. Eastern Washington enjoys more sunshine year-round. The San Juan Islands are best May through September. Mountain parks open as snow melts, typically July through October. Always carry rain gear west of the Cascades.
Visitor Tips
