About Obstruction Pass State Park

This small state park covers about 76 acres at the south end of Orcas Island in the San Juans. Visitors can walk shoreline trails, watch birds, explore the beach, crab, fish and kayak. Day-use picnicking is available, along with a handful of primitive tent sites and moorage buoys offshore. Facilities are basic: there is no running water, and two composting toilets are provided. A Discover Pass is needed for day use.
