Moran State Park
Moran State Park Review
This pristine patch of wildnerness comprises 5,200 acres of hilly, old-growth forests dotted with sparkling lakes, in the middle of which rises the island's highest point, 2,409-foot Mt. Constitution. A drive to the summit affords exhilarating views of the islands, the Cascades, the Olympics, and Vancouver Island. The observation tower up here was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.You can explore the terrain along 30 miles of hiking trails and choose from among 151 campsites if you'd like to stay longer (reservations are available May-September, or first-come, first-served at other times).
