Bay View State Park (parks.wa.gov)

address

Five iconic state parks near Bellingham and the far north Northwest (parks.wa.gov) Washington’s northernmost city Bellingham has that perfectly Northwest feeling, with bookstore and coffee house combos, an art and music scene, a university and more. But the town itself is flanked by Mount Baker to the east and the Salish Sea to the west, making it outdoor heaven for hikers, cyclists, boaters, paddlers, anglers and more. And you won’t have to drive far to find this natural drama: the area has five state parks less than an hour away.

Bay View State Park is a camping park on the shores of Padilla Bay. Fly a kite or pull up a chair to enjoy magnificent views of the San Juan Islands on clear or partially clear days.

Bay View State Park History (parks.wa.gov) Bay View State Park is perched above the waves of Padilla Bay at the western edge of the Skagit Valley. The scenic spot lies within the traditional territories of Coast Salish Indigenous people whose present-day descendants include members of the Samish Indian Nation, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, Upper Skagit Indian Tribe, Suquamish Tribe and Lummi Nation. For thousands of years the rich estuary and its extensive eelgrass beds have provided habitat for a diverse community of life that forms the basis of their cultures.
