San Juan Island NHP, English Camp Visitor Center

Walter Dinda (Walt)

The San Juan National Historic Park is amazing....Why? Because#1. It is on an island. #2. The Washington State Ferry ride to and from the island is a treat. #3. There are two historic parts to this Park....The American Park and the English Park. #4. The American Park visitor center is brand new and opened recently. It is full of exhibits. The American Park has meadows, beaches, cliffs, and beautiful views of the ocean. If your lucky you may see deer, fox, and lots of birds including Osprey and eagles. #5. The English Park is in a heavily wooded conifer forest that opens up to the sea. Beautiful flower garden, nice trails, friendly volunteers, original buildings still on-site, large 300 year old maple tree on'site......#6. The island drive thru the island is beautiful. #7. Look for whales!!!! Along the coastline drive. #8. Spend time in town shopping and dining.

Interesting story behind this place, and the grounds and structures are well kept up. We stopped in after a hike and a couple of staff members answered some questions and shared their knowledge of the history and the area. I enjoyed this stop more than I thought I would.

Beautiful historic camp. The whole area is dotted with little boards which tell the history of the area which was nice to read. A few small walking trails spread out through the area

A cute surprise of a hike that has wonderful wooded areas - I just wish I had worn appropriate shoes for all the rainfall we've been getting this April!
