Boating
The park provides seven mooring buoys and 128 linear feet of dock moorage at the North Cove. The moorage dock at North Cove is removed from October through March. Mooring buoys remain in place year round. Anchorage is good at both the North and South Coves, but boaters are exposed to continuous boat wakes due to heave boat traffic during summer months. During periods of high atmospheric pressure, strong northerly winds may develop causing rough water conditions at the North Cove moorage area. During low atmospheric conditions, the South Cove may be subjected to strong southerly wind. There is a marked reef at the northeast entrance to North Cove and several unmarked, but charted rocks along the southeastern shore. Mariners should consult their charts in these areas.
Camping
The park has 24 primitive campsites. Two of the sites are part of the Cascadia Marine Trail and strictly reserved for those arriving by human- or wind-powered watercraft. Drinking water is available April through September. The park has two pit toilets and four composting toilets.
