| Triton Cove State Park is a 29-acre day-use park with 555 feet of saltwater shore on Hood Canal. This small park provides an ADA-compliant boat launch with access to near-shore fishing. Future plans include possible camping facilities. Rabbits, raccoons, and squirrels inhabit the area. This provides a nice area for mild wildlife viewing. For visitors interested in the sport of bird watching there are many birds that nest in the park. These birds include: crows, ducks, gulls, herons, hummingbirds, jays, ospreys, and woodpeckers. Guests are also allowed to go boating and harvest crabs, clams, and shrimp. In the 1930s, the area was the location of a gas station and a small country store. After World War II, the area was developed as a trailer-park fishing resort with a boat launch. Though the property changed hands a few times, it remained a fishing resort until the state purchased it in two parcels in 1990. Since then, the boat launch has been rebuilt. The area continues to be upgraded and developed to include more features. |
