A forested 1.8 mile long bike path provides a breathtaking view of the bay. You may see deer and elk grazing and a variety of birds. Kayaking, crabbing, fishing and clamming are popular activities. Two day-use areas offer access to bay or ocean with restrooms and picnic areas with fire rings. Bayside day-use includes a boat ramp. The boat docks are seasonal (typically mid-May to mid-October). Campground is open year-round.
