Potlatch State Park

Boating and water activities

Potlatch has year-round moorage off of its 5,700-foot shoreline. The typically calm Hood Canal waters are a popular place for swimming, boating, paddling, water skiing, crabbing and fishing (with a permit). 

Camping

Camp among the tall pines at Potlatch. The park has 38 standard campsites, 35 partial hookup sites for RVs and two hiker/bikers sites. An amphitheater and fire circles are also available for visitor use.

Other activities

Potlatch's estuary environment is an opportunity for fun and educational intertidal beach exploration and clam and oyster harvesting may be done in season with a permit. The calm but steady winds are perfect for kite flying on the shore. 

Hiking is limited at the park but nearby are several popular trails that showcase the dynamic rivers of the region. Along the way, or in the park, visitors may spot local elk herds and other wildlife.
