Rugged cliffs drop to the turbulent waters of Deception Pass. The park is located 9 miles south of Anacortes and nine miles north of Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound. The park provides five saltwater and three freshwater boat ramps. There are 710 feet of saltwater dock and 450 feet of freshwater dock. All motors are prohibited on Pass Lake and only electric motors are allowed on Cranberry Lake. There are four kitchen shelters with electricity and six without, all built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's. Fifty sheltered and 261 unsheltered picnic tables are also available. A playground is available for the kids. To prevent serious accidents, hikers are encouraged to stay on main trails and avoid straying to the sides.
