Turn Island State Park

Just an easy 2 miles from Friday Harbor, Turn Island State Park is a 35-acre marine park encompassing the entire Turn Island. Turn Island has 12 primitive sites, with picnic tables and fire rings. Composting toilets are available. The campsites are located on beaches on the south end of the western side of the island. Since there is no dock, just small watercraft are likely to be found here, although there is moorage available. Turn Island is part of the San Juan National Wildlife Refuge. A hiking trail can be found circling around the entire island. There are some strong currents on the north side of Turn Island.
