HistoryEdit

The area was originally the home of the Native American Twana tribes, better known as the Skokomish, from whose name the park's name derives. Evidence of the area's logging history of the 1890s can be seen on the park's woodland hiking trails.

In 1922, the state leased 30 acres to be used as a state park, then after finalizing purchase of the property dedicated the park in 1923. The well-preserved complex of structures created in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps led to the park's being named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

Activities and amenitiesEdit

Park activities include hiking, boating, fishing, swimming, waterskiing, crabbing, oyster harvesting, beachcombing, birdwatching, wildlife viewing, and horseshoes. The park campground has 25 tent spaces and 22 full hookup spaces.
