Deception Pass State Park
Deception Pass is Washington's most popular state park, where two islands meet under a tall, dramatic bridge. Below the bridge, ocean water rushes through a narrow channel between rocky cliffs.
People love walking across the famous bridge, high above the swirling green water. The park also has sandy beaches, tide pools, and forest trails all in one beautiful place.
The Famous Bridge
The Deception Pass Bridge stands 180 feet above the water and connects two islands. Walking across the sidewalk gives you a thrilling view straight down to the swirling currents.
Rushing Waters
When the tide changes, so much water squeezes through the narrow pass that it swirls and churns like a river. Boats and kayakers must time their trips just right.
Beaches and Tide Pools
Sandy beaches invite you to build castles and look for driftwood and shells. At low tide, rocky pools fill with crabs, sea stars, and other tiny sea creatures.
