About Crawford State Park Heritage Site
Crawford State Park is a small, wooded day-use park in the northeast corner of Washington. Its main draw is Gardner Cave, a limestone cave noted for its long passages and rich formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstones. Visitors must book a guided cave tour in advance, and tours are often full weeks ahead. The park also offers Saturday morning native plant walks, a short trail toward the Canadian border, picnic tables, and barbecue stands. The cave tours are closed for the current season and are scheduled to resume in spring 2027.
