Dash Point State Park is a 398-acre camping park with 3,301 feet of saltwater shoreline on Puget Sound. The beach provides unobstructed views of the Sound and excellent opportunities for sea-life study. The park features a beach, a variety of water activities and great views of Puget Sound.
History: The Dash Point area has been the subject of three survey expeditions since 1800. In the past, the property was called "lson Landing", "Fairview Beach" and "Woodstock Beach". The origin of the name "Dash Point" is unclear. In the late 1940s, the McLeod family sold the land to the state of Washington with the understanding the property would be used as a park. The park was dedicated in 1962.
This park has 11 miles of hiking/biking trails, 114 tent spaces, 27 utility spaces, one dump station, four restrooms and six showers.
