 | | Moran State Park is a 5,252-acre camping park with five freshwater lakes and over 30 miles of hiking trails. Atop the 2,409-foot-high Mt. Constitution, the highest point on the San Juan Islands, there stands a stone observation tower built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936. The tower offers panoramic views of the surrounding islands, the Cascade Mountains and a variety of Canadian and American cities. The San Juan Islands are home to more eagles than any other region of the contiguous states. Viewing via automobile is possible on the nine miles of road (two miles are unimproved) that wind through the park. Two interpretive displays are located within the park. An Environmental Learning Center accommodates 155 people. It includes a dining hall/kitchen, one comfort station, nine cabins, three duplex buildings and an infirmary. Camping facilities include 136 camp sites, a 15-site primitive bike campground with an Adirondack shelter, 54 day use sites, five kitchen shelters, a day use comfort station, a trailer dumping station, five camp area comfort stations, two pit toilets and four vault toilets (two locations). The parking area will accommodate 85 vehicles. Food and wood concessions are located within the park. Moran State Park is on the Campsite Reservation Program. Activities within the park include picnicking, camping, swimming, hiking, boating and fishing. The Environmental Learning Center, nature trails and the scenic views from the top of Mount Constitution are also favorite activities. |
