DISCOVER NATURE

Hope Island Marine State Park

Distance from La Conner Country Inn: 5 miles
1 hour, 10 minute travel

Because Hope Island is...well...an island, you can only get there by boat. As such, even though you can drive to the shoreline in a matter of 10 minutes, the rest of your trip to the island will have to be made by boat! This can be done either by man-powered boats like canoes or kayaks, or by motorboat.

Once you arrive on the island, you're able to go on hikes, enjoy the beach, or continue paddling around as you had on the way. This secluded paradise sticks out as one of the more unique parks near La Conner.
