Doe Island State Park is a public recreation area comprising the entirety of Doe Island, a seven-acre (2.8 ha) island lying some 300 feet (91 m) off the eastern flank of Orcas Island in San Juan County, Washington. It has 2,049 feet (625 m) of shoreline and a trail three-tenths of a mile long that circles the island. It is accessible only by water. Washington State Parks acquired the island from the Bureau of Land Management in 1964. Activities include camping, boating, fishing, crabbing, birdwatching, and wildlife viewing.[2]
