Set in a blue cove between Bellingham and Blaine, Birch Bay State Park feels private and secluded without being far from urban life. Stroll along the rocky beach and take in dramatic views of the North Cascades Mountains and Canadian Gulf Islands. Or head up the Terrell Marsh interpretive trail to a rare saltwater and freshwater estuary teeming with birds and wildlife.

At Birch Bay State Park, you can relax on shore or wade out into the shallow bay and play in the water. This 664-acre park, with more than a mile of saltwater shoreline, will make you feel so lucky to live in Whatcom County. | The Bellingham Herald
