Business Profile:
Where: Exit 212 off I-5, 14 miles southwest of Stanwood on Camano Island. Cama Beach State Park is just one mile North of Camano Island State Park.
What: There is over a mile of shoreline looking onto Saratoga Passage and Whidbey Island. There is a total of 433 acres -- most of it wooded with a wetlands area called Cranberry Lake. The trail system will connect to both Camano Island State Park and the Cross Island trail system. There are 31 cabins open to the public for overnight use. There are also four more cabins for meeting space. There is also a day use area with rest rooms. There is a boathouse used by The Center for Wooden Boats. There's also a 15-room retreat lodge and a Dining Hall.
Activities: Interpretive programs on all aspects of the park, boating programs, boating, saltwater fishing, seasonal clamming and crabbing, bird watching, picnicking, and hiking.
History: It's been over ten years since Washington saw a new State Park join its already distinguished ranks. The last was Raser State Park in Skagit County, dedicated in 1997. Now the small community of Camano Island can boast two within miles of one another, and The Center for Wooden Boats has its second interactive working museum. Cama Beach State park, eighteen years in the making, joins next door Camano Island State Park when it opens its doors to the public for the first time on Saturday, June 21, 2008.
Cama Beach State Park is a classic blend of old and new, a living legacy to the many dedicated people whose vision and commitment havae reawakened a "golden age" of classic small craft. What makes this Park different is the involvement of CWB, whose presence yet again brings local maritime history alive by creating an amalgamation of people and small craft - building environments and living museums, where families and individuals learn about, touch, make and sail wooden boats.The distinction for CWB at Cama Beach is that this facility works with a salt water environment, and the challenges the tides and weather in the Saratoga Passage present. And we are a part of a rural rather than an urban community.
As an Enduring Partner of Washington State Parks, in Cama we have an outdoor classroom encircled by the natural beauty of the surrounding woodlands and inland waterways, like Cranberry Lake, and the bounty of the shore, one of the most pristine slices of Puget Sound coastline. Visitors to the Park not only enjoy what CWB has to offer; you can walk the trails constructed and managed by Friends of Camano Island Parks (FOCIP), listen to nature talks given by Parks staff, and explore the tide pools and beaches in the knowledgeable company of the Island County Beach Watchers.
