Fort Flagler Historical State Park

The park preserves turn-of-the-century military history with original fortifications including gun batteries, the historic hospital, and non-commissioned officers' quarters available for exploration. On clear days, visitors can see three of Washington's five active volcanoes: Mt. Baker and both the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. Popular activities include beach exploration, hiking on both beach and wooded trails, boating with a boat launch and moorage, saltwater fishing, clamming, crabbing, and paragliding. The park operates year-round with seasonal variations. The upper campground closes from late September through early May, while the lower beach campground remains open all year and now accepts reservations year-round. A concession stand operates seasonally offering meals and camping supplies, and guided kayak tours are available. The park also features vacation house rentals, picnic shelters, a playground, and basketball court.
