Its a beautiful place . Not worth the 10.00 Parking fee for just a hike unless you plan on spending the day there and having a picnic . More

Larrabee has hiking trails, a boat launch, picnic areas, camping and even a small amphitheater. The views of the San Juan Islands are beautiful, especially at sunset. At low tides all sorts of sealife is exposed for viewing! More

This park has several different types of water front and is a trailhead to the mountains on the east. The campground is small and facilities have been on a long decline. I have visited many times over the last several decades and see the sad effect of poor state parks funding. More

Everything about Larrabee is fantastic, well, maybe not sleeping in the campsite when the train goes flying by. It is a magical place to have a walk, camp and/or watch a sunset!! More

Very interesting and scenic trails along top of cliffs and down to the beach. Accessible to most. Beach has unusual rock faces and coves. More

Very beautiful setting. I used to go there all the time with my children. Unfortunately, there is now a usage fee charged for cars. One option would be to ride the Interurban Trail from Bellingham (about 7miles to the north). It is a very pleasant off-road bicycle trail (a former train bed). More

I camped (with a tent) in this beautiful park. Reservation process was flawless and the campsite was great. If you have a car, you'll have about a five to ten minute hike from the parking lot to your campsite. This is actually a nice feature because you're isolated from the RV's and traffic. The walk from the campsite to the... More

Gorgeous short hikes. The down side is that it's well known for car burglaries. Lock your car, leave nothing of value inside. Make sure you don't tempt the thieves. More
