Are you looking for a beautiful place to explore this summer? Deception Pass State Park is a gorgeous setting with activities for every kind of outdoor enthusiast. And it's only a couple of hours north of Seattle.

It has a beautiful bay for kayaking, bluff trails, campgrounds, picnic shelters, sandy beaches, tide pools and a big fishing dock. In my view, its beauty is akin to many national parks.
