About Camano Island State Park

The first inhabitants of Camano were the Kikalos (Snohomish Indians), who used the island as a summer residence to collect seafood and berries. During the last ice age, the area was covered by a glacier that formed the shape of the islands and contributed to the construction of beaches with its high feeder banks.

The first European settlers arrived on the island in 1855 and began large-scale logging, later the farmers came and developed the area agriculturally. The island was renamed after the Spanish explorer Jacinto Caamano and is referred to as cal - lut - chin, meaning "land that juts into the bay."

The first development took place in 1949 on the property designated as a park, and in July 1999 the park celebrated its 50th birthday. Most services are available within a few miles of the parks, such as hiking, biking, camping, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking and fishing.
