Park Rules

Please observe State Park rules so that all park visitors may enjoy their visit. Please note that the following general park rules are not customized for each individual park, so not all rules will apply to all parks (for example, "campsites cannot be held for someone who might arrive later" only applies to parks with campgrounds).

Please use the trash cans and dumpsters provided to help keep your park free from litter and debris.

Recycling is encouraged in all state parks. Some parks have a pack-it-in, pack-it-out program, where people must carry out everything they bring into a park.

Wildlife, plants and all park buildings, signs and tables and other structures are protected; removal or damage of any kind is prohibited.

Feeding of wildlife is prohibited.

Pets must be on a leash and under physical control at all times. Pets are not permitted on designated swimming beaches.

Horses are allowed only in designated parks.

Alcoholic beverages are permitted only in designated campgrounds and picnic areas.

Glass bottles and metal cans are not allowed on swimming beaches.

All Washington State laws are enforced in state parks.

Please report disturbances to park rangers; they are trained to help you resolve issues and concerns.
