Beach, boat & bluff fishing
Fishermen are out. On a visit to Deception Pass Park I viewed folks fishing from North Beach, boat just offshore, and bluff from the base of Pass Island. Traveling in and out of the park I saw many folks fishing lakes including Cranberry, Heart, Campbell and Pass.

Swirling currents Deception Pass

Old growth, new picnic tables
A partnership of park staff and volunteers is responsible for the addition of several dozen new picnic tables at Deception Pass Park. Table design gives a nod to the Civilian Conservation Corps design of the mid-30s, when Deception Pass State Park was established. Some table inside of shelters built by the CCC are constructed of […]
Deception Pass respite
Rather than subjecting myself to more news about the coronavirus pandemic I chose today to visit Deception Pass State Park. Fresh air, natural beauty and safe space between me and those who chose the same outdoor adventure. Not escape, but a welcome respite.
