Fort Ebey State Park
A bluff park west of Coupeville with the ruins of WWII gun batteries, clifftop trails and forest mountain-bike routes. Few visitors and beautiful views.
Fort Ebey State Park is on the west coast of Whidbey Island, and the remains of the coastal defence batteries built during World War II are still preserved here. The park has several trails along the bluffs. The most popular, the Bluff Trail, offers views over the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains. Among the trees are about 40 km of mountain-bike trails, and Keller Lake in the park has trout fishing. The pebble beach beneath the bluffs is good for collecting stones and watching sunsets. Compared with Ebey's Landing and Fort Casey, it is less crowded, although the campgrounds are popular in summer. Parking requires a Discover Pass.
