Doe Island Marine State Park
Doe Island State Park is a public recreation area comprising the entirety of Doe Island, a seven-acre (2.8 ha) island lying some 300 feet (91 m) off the eastern flank of Orcas Island in San Juan County, Washington. It has 2,049 feet (625 m) of shoreline and a trail three-tenths of a mile long that circles the island. It is accessible only by water. Washington State Parks acquired a portion of the island from the Bureau of Land Management in 1964 for $15.27, with a second acquisition in 1967 from DNR for no cost.[3] Activities include camping, boating, fishing, crabbing, birdwatching, and wildlife viewing.[4]
