Potlatch State Park

360-877-5361

Potlach State Park lies along beautiful Hood Canal, 40 miles from Olympia. This unassuming park has a welcoming campground in a thicket of trees, and its forested creek was recently restored for salmon health. Local elk herds roam through the area, and pileated woodpeckers are busy with their beaks, tapping out rhythms on the trees.And then there's the beach. Before you head to Potlach, be sure to pack pails, duck-boots, crab pots, boats and the right licenses. For shellfish harvesting, this park is truly where it's at! Whether it's oysters, crabs or clams that whet your appetite, you'll find them here.At high tide or on windy days, visitors may also opt to wind surf, fly kites or kick back and watch others create a colorful show. Featuring clear, often calm waters, Potlach is a favorite with divers and kayakers too. Seasonal Junior Ranger and kids' educational programs make the park a magnet for families. Hikers, take note: some of the lushest hiking in the region can be found within a half hour's drive, on four neighboring rivers.Plan an Olympic Peninsula adventure, and enjoy the fun and uniquely northwest experience that Potlatch has to offer.PARK FEATURESPotlatch State Park is an 84-acre camping park with 5,700 feet of saltwater shoreline on Hood Canal.ADA AMENITIES/FACILITIESCampgroundPICNIC & DAY-USE FACILITIESThe park offers one reservable picnic shelter and several unsheltered picnic tables.ACTIVITIESTRAILS0.2 miles of hiking trailsWATER ACTIVITIES & FEATURESBoatingClammingCrabbingDivingFishing (saltwater)Moorage buoys (4)Oyster harvestingOTHER ACTIVITIES & FEATURESAmphitheaterBeach explorationBird watchingFire circles (6)SailboardingBOATING FEATURESLocated in Mason County on Hood Canal, Potlatch has four mooring buoys.CAMPSITE INFORMATIONThe park has 38 standard campsites, 35 partial-hookup sites, two hiker/biker sites, one dump station, one restroom in the day-use area and two restrooms with showers in the campground area.

						<p style="text-align: justify;">Potlach State Park lies along beautiful Hood Canal, 40 miles from Olympia. This unassuming park has a welcoming campground in a thicket of trees, and its forested creek was recently restored for salmon health. Local elk herds roam through the area, and pileated woodpeckers are busy with their beaks, tapping out rhythms on the trees.And then there's the beach. Before you head to Potlach, be sure to pack pails, duck-boots, crab pots, boats and the right licenses. For shellfish harvesting, this park is truly where it's at! Whether it's oysters, crabs or clams that whet your appetite, you'll find them here.At high tide or on windy days, visitors may also opt to wind surf, fly kites or kick back and watch others create a colorful show. Featuring clear, often calm waters, Potlach is a favorite with divers and kayakers too. Seasonal Junior Ranger and kids' educational programs make the park a magnet for families. Hikers, take note: some of the lushest hiking in the region can be found within a half hour's drive, on four neighboring rivers.Plan an Olympic Peninsula adventure, and enjoy the fun and uniquely northwest experience that Potlatch has to offer.PARK FEATURESPotlatch State Park is an 84-acre camping park with 5,700 feet of saltwater shoreline on Hood Canal.ADA AMENITIES/FACILITIESCampgroundPICNIC &amp; DAY-USE FACILITIESThe park offers one reservable picnic shelter and several unsheltered picnic tables.ACTIVITIESTRAILS0.2 miles of hiking trailsWATER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESBoatingClammingCrabbingDivingFishing (saltwater)Moorage buoys (4)Oyster harvestingOTHER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESAmphitheaterBeach explorationBird watchingFire circles (6)SailboardingBOATING FEATURESLocated in Mason County on Hood Canal, Potlatch has four mooring buoys.CAMPSITE INFORMATIONThe park has 38 standard campsites, 35 partial-hookup sites, two hiker/biker sites, one dump station, one restroom in the day-use area and two restrooms with showers in the campground area.

						<p style="text-align: justify;">Potlach State Park lies along beautiful Hood Canal, 40 miles from Olympia. This unassuming park has a welcoming campground in a thicket of trees, and its forested creek was recently restored for salmon health. Local elk herds roam through the area, and pileated woodpeckers are busy with their beaks, tapping out rhythms on the trees.And then there's the beach. Before you head to Potlach, be sure to pack pails, duck-boots, crab pots, boats and the right licenses. For shellfish harvesting, this park is truly where it's at! Whether it's oysters, crabs or clams that whet your appetite, you'll find them here.At high tide or on windy days, visitors may also opt to wind surf, fly kites or kick back and watch others create a colorful show. Featuring clear, often calm waters, Potlach is a favorite with divers and kayakers too. Seasonal Junior Ranger and kids' educational programs make the park a magnet for families. Hikers, take note: some of the lushest hiking in the region can be found within a half hour's drive, on four neighboring rivers.Plan an Olympic Peninsula adventure, and enjoy the fun and uniquely northwest experience that Potlatch has to offer.PARK FEATURESPotlatch State Park is an 84-acre camping park with 5,700 feet of saltwater shoreline on Hood Canal.ADA AMENITIES/FACILITIESCampgroundPICNIC &amp; DAY-USE FACILITIESThe park offers one reservable picnic shelter and several unsheltered picnic tables.ACTIVITIESTRAILS0.2 miles of hiking trailsWATER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESBoatingClammingCrabbingDivingFishing (saltwater)Moorage buoys (4)Oyster harvestingOTHER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESAmphitheaterBeach explorationBird watchingFire circles (6)SailboardingBOATING FEATURESLocated in Mason County on Hood Canal, Potlatch has four mooring buoys.CAMPSITE INFORMATIONThe park has 38 standard campsites, 35 partial-hookup sites, two hiker/biker sites, one dump station, one restroom in the day-use area and two restrooms with showers in the campground area.

						<p style="text-align: justify;">Potlach State Park lies along beautiful Hood Canal, 40 miles from Olympia. This unassuming park has a welcoming campground in a thicket of trees, and its forested creek was recently restored for salmon health. Local elk herds roam through the area, and pileated woodpeckers are busy with their beaks, tapping out rhythms on the trees.And then there's the beach. Before you head to Potlach, be sure to pack pails, duck-boots, crab pots, boats and the right licenses. For shellfish harvesting, this park is truly where it's at! Whether it's oysters, crabs or clams that whet your appetite, you'll find them here.At high tide or on windy days, visitors may also opt to wind surf, fly kites or kick back and watch others create a colorful show. Featuring clear, often calm waters, Potlach is a favorite with divers and kayakers too. Seasonal Junior Ranger and kids' educational programs make the park a magnet for families. Hikers, take note: some of the lushest hiking in the region can be found within a half hour's drive, on four neighboring rivers.Plan an Olympic Peninsula adventure, and enjoy the fun and uniquely northwest experience that Potlatch has to offer.PARK FEATURESPotlatch State Park is an 84-acre camping park with 5,700 feet of saltwater shoreline on Hood Canal.ADA AMENITIES/FACILITIESCampgroundPICNIC &amp; DAY-USE FACILITIESThe park offers one reservable picnic shelter and several unsheltered picnic tables.ACTIVITIESTRAILS0.2 miles of hiking trailsWATER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESBoatingClammingCrabbingDivingFishing (saltwater)Moorage buoys (4)Oyster harvestingOTHER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESAmphitheaterBeach explorationBird watchingFire circles (6)SailboardingBOATING FEATURESLocated in Mason County on Hood Canal, Potlatch has four mooring buoys.CAMPSITE INFORMATIONThe park has 38 standard campsites, 35 partial-hookup sites, two hiker/biker sites, one dump station, one restroom in the day-use area and two restrooms with showers in the campground area.

						<p style="text-align: justify;">Potlach State Park lies along beautiful Hood Canal, 40 miles from Olympia. This unassuming park has a welcoming campground in a thicket of trees, and its forested creek was recently restored for salmon health. Local elk herds roam through the area, and pileated woodpeckers are busy with their beaks, tapping out rhythms on the trees.And then there's the beach. Before you head to Potlach, be sure to pack pails, duck-boots, crab pots, boats and the right licenses. For shellfish harvesting, this park is truly where it's at! Whether it's oysters, crabs or clams that whet your appetite, you'll find them here.At high tide or on windy days, visitors may also opt to wind surf, fly kites or kick back and watch others create a colorful show. Featuring clear, often calm waters, Potlach is a favorite with divers and kayakers too. Seasonal Junior Ranger and kids' educational programs make the park a magnet for families. Hikers, take note: some of the lushest hiking in the region can be found within a half hour's drive, on four neighboring rivers.Plan an Olympic Peninsula adventure, and enjoy the fun and uniquely northwest experience that Potlatch has to offer.PARK FEATURESPotlatch State Park is an 84-acre camping park with 5,700 feet of saltwater shoreline on Hood Canal.ADA AMENITIES/FACILITIESCampgroundPICNIC &amp; DAY-USE FACILITIESThe park offers one reservable picnic shelter and several unsheltered picnic tables.ACTIVITIESTRAILS0.2 miles of hiking trailsWATER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESBoatingClammingCrabbingDivingFishing (saltwater)Moorage buoys (4)Oyster harvestingOTHER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESAmphitheaterBeach explorationBird watchingFire circles (6)SailboardingBOATING FEATURESLocated in Mason County on Hood Canal, Potlatch has four mooring buoys.CAMPSITE INFORMATIONThe park has 38 standard campsites, 35 partial-hookup sites, two hiker/biker sites, one dump station, one restroom in the day-use area and two restrooms with showers in the campground area.

						<p style="text-align: justify;">Potlach State Park lies along beautiful Hood Canal, 40 miles from Olympia. This unassuming park has a welcoming campground in a thicket of trees, and its forested creek was recently restored for salmon health. Local elk herds roam through the area, and pileated woodpeckers are busy with their beaks, tapping out rhythms on the trees.And then there's the beach. Before you head to Potlach, be sure to pack pails, duck-boots, crab pots, boats and the right licenses. For shellfish harvesting, this park is truly where it's at! Whether it's oysters, crabs or clams that whet your appetite, you'll find them here.At high tide or on windy days, visitors may also opt to wind surf, fly kites or kick back and watch others create a colorful show. Featuring clear, often calm waters, Potlach is a favorite with divers and kayakers too. Seasonal Junior Ranger and kids' educational programs make the park a magnet for families. Hikers, take note: some of the lushest hiking in the region can be found within a half hour's drive, on four neighboring rivers.Plan an Olympic Peninsula adventure, and enjoy the fun and uniquely northwest experience that Potlatch has to offer.PARK FEATURESPotlatch State Park is an 84-acre camping park with 5,700 feet of saltwater shoreline on Hood Canal.ADA AMENITIES/FACILITIESCampgroundPICNIC &amp; DAY-USE FACILITIESThe park offers one reservable picnic shelter and several unsheltered picnic tables.ACTIVITIESTRAILS0.2 miles of hiking trailsWATER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESBoatingClammingCrabbingDivingFishing (saltwater)Moorage buoys (4)Oyster harvestingOTHER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESAmphitheaterBeach explorationBird watchingFire circles (6)SailboardingBOATING FEATURESLocated in Mason County on Hood Canal, Potlatch has four mooring buoys.CAMPSITE INFORMATIONThe park has 38 standard campsites, 35 partial-hookup sites, two hiker/biker sites, one dump station, one restroom in the day-use area and two restrooms with showers in the campground area.

						<p style="text-align: justify;">Potlach State Park lies along beautiful Hood Canal, 40 miles from Olympia. This unassuming park has a welcoming campground in a thicket of trees, and its forested creek was recently restored for salmon health. Local elk herds roam through the area, and pileated woodpeckers are busy with their beaks, tapping out rhythms on the trees.And then there's the beach. Before you head to Potlach, be sure to pack pails, duck-boots, crab pots, boats and the right licenses. For shellfish harvesting, this park is truly where it's at! Whether it's oysters, crabs or clams that whet your appetite, you'll find them here.At high tide or on windy days, visitors may also opt to wind surf, fly kites or kick back and watch others create a colorful show. Featuring clear, often calm waters, Potlach is a favorite with divers and kayakers too. Seasonal Junior Ranger and kids' educational programs make the park a magnet for families. Hikers, take note: some of the lushest hiking in the region can be found within a half hour's drive, on four neighboring rivers.Plan an Olympic Peninsula adventure, and enjoy the fun and uniquely northwest experience that Potlatch has to offer.PARK FEATURESPotlatch State Park is an 84-acre camping park with 5,700 feet of saltwater shoreline on Hood Canal.ADA AMENITIES/FACILITIESCampgroundPICNIC &amp; DAY-USE FACILITIESThe park offers one reservable picnic shelter and several unsheltered picnic tables.ACTIVITIESTRAILS0.2 miles of hiking trailsWATER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESBoatingClammingCrabbingDivingFishing (saltwater)Moorage buoys (4)Oyster harvestingOTHER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESAmphitheaterBeach explorationBird watchingFire circles (6)SailboardingBOATING FEATURESLocated in Mason County on Hood Canal, Potlatch has four mooring buoys.CAMPSITE INFORMATIONThe park has 38 standard campsites, 35 partial-hookup sites, two hiker/biker sites, one dump station, one restroom in the day-use area and two restrooms with showers in the campground area.

						<p style="text-align: justify;">Potlach State Park lies along beautiful Hood Canal, 40 miles from Olympia. This unassuming park has a welcoming campground in a thicket of trees, and its forested creek was recently restored for salmon health. Local elk herds roam through the area, and pileated woodpeckers are busy with their beaks, tapping out rhythms on the trees.And then there's the beach. Before you head to Potlach, be sure to pack pails, duck-boots, crab pots, boats and the right licenses. For shellfish harvesting, this park is truly where it's at! Whether it's oysters, crabs or clams that whet your appetite, you'll find them here.At high tide or on windy days, visitors may also opt to wind surf, fly kites or kick back and watch others create a colorful show. Featuring clear, often calm waters, Potlach is a favorite with divers and kayakers too. Seasonal Junior Ranger and kids' educational programs make the park a magnet for families. Hikers, take note: some of the lushest hiking in the region can be found within a half hour's drive, on four neighboring rivers.Plan an Olympic Peninsula adventure, and enjoy the fun and uniquely northwest experience that Potlatch has to offer.PARK FEATURESPotlatch State Park is an 84-acre camping park with 5,700 feet of saltwater shoreline on Hood Canal.ADA AMENITIES/FACILITIESCampgroundPICNIC &amp; DAY-USE FACILITIESThe park offers one reservable picnic shelter and several unsheltered picnic tables.ACTIVITIESTRAILS0.2 miles of hiking trailsWATER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESBoatingClammingCrabbingDivingFishing (saltwater)Moorage buoys (4)Oyster harvestingOTHER ACTIVITIES &amp; FEATURESAmphitheaterBeach explorationBird watchingFire circles (6)SailboardingBOATING FEATURESLocated in Mason County on Hood Canal, Potlatch has four mooring buoys.CAMPSITE INFORMATIONThe park has 38 standard campsites, 35 partial-hookup sites, two hiker/biker sites, one dump station, one restroom in the day-use area and two restrooms with showers in the campground area.

This unassuming park has a welcoming campground in a thicket of trees, and its forested creek was recently restored for salmon health. Local elk herds roam through the area, and pileated woodpeckers are busy with their beaks, tapping out rhythms on the trees.And then there's the beach. Before you head to Potlach, be sure to pack pails, duck-boots, crab pots, boats and the right licenses. For shellfish harvesting, this park is truly where it's at! Whether it's oysters, crabs or clams that whet your appetite, you'll find them here.At high tide or on windy days, visitors may also opt to wind surf, fly kites or kick back and watch others create a colorful show. Featuring clear, often calm waters, Potlach is a favorite with divers and kayakers too. Seasonal Junior Ranger and kids' educational programs make the park a magnet for families.
