About Twanoh State Park

This Washington state park sits on the east shore of Hood Canal and was laid out in the classic style of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Visitors come for the warm saltwater beach, which suits swimming, and for shellfish harvesting and fishing in the canal. Picnic tables, reservable kitchen shelters, a campground with standard and full hookup sites, and a boat launch with moorage buoys and docks support day trips and overnight stays. Forested trails run beside a creek for a shaded walk, and the courts and fields serve tennis, horseshoes, and other games. Shellfish must be shucked on the beach, and a recreational license is needed for harvesting.
