Cama Beach State Park

Parking is in a lot up on the bank. Visitors walk down the trail to the water level. If you are staying, garden carts are provided for your gear.
I am thinking that the program may have been geared to city slickers, since most local folks are pretty familiar with cows. The "exhibits" seemed quite contented. A pair of bald eagles watched from above.Cama Beach is an old fishing camp, which was purchased by the state. The cabins have been refurbished and are already booked for this summer. The park opened in June. The Center for Wooden Boats, headquartered in Seattle, has opened a branch here, where they build and refurbish wooden canoes.
We had a great day exploring and enjoying this land of mountains and trees, sky and seas.

  3. Just to let you know that I did come back and introduced myself to my computer again.
    I love Camano--since I live in Stanwood, (although up east in the hills) I visit often. I did go to Cama Beach--very interesting. I do go the Camano State Park a lot---mostly just to think and enjoy---it is just down the road from Cama. Glad you enjoyed your visit. MB

  4. I think you've just introduced me to an area that I'm going to have to ad to my list of "Places to see before I die". It's got a pretty good WOW factor!

    I'm having a hard time convincing my hubby to take any road trips. He suffers sticker shock every time he puts gas in one of our vehicles. SOOOO... I'll just enjoy traveling along with you on yours for a while.

  7. You could be Washington's Spokesperson~I went on a Norwegian cruise in July 04 to Alaska that left from Seattle. So,other than having lunch at the top of the Space Needle, I didn't get to see too much. I need to come back cause your photos are so beautiful!
