From hiking to biking, skiing to sailing, Washington State’s 100-plus state parks offer superb outdoor experiences for all seasons. Whether you want to explore rocky shorelines or climb snow-capped peaks, our state parks offer endless ways to enjoy Washington’s spectacular geographic diversity.

Washington’s state parks system was created in 1913 through land donations from a few visionary individuals. Over the following decades, donations continued to build one of the largest and most beautiful state parks systems in the country.
