Cama Beach

Beautiful water overlook at Cama State Park is on the southwest shore of Camano Island and faces Saratoga Passage.  It's a 433 acre shore front and forested back, with 15 miles of hiking trails.

Just a tinge of fall showing in early October along the trail. Lots of different foliage in this forest, including pacific northwest spotted maples.

In the distance you see the rustic cabins and small general store you can stay at right on the beach.  They surround the wooden boats center, available for rent as well as fun to look at.

Forest also includes lots of these pretty pacific northwest madrones.

Picnic anyone?  Right on the beach, just outside one of the little cabins.

Plenty of sun on this October day.

Despite the sunny, warm weather we know fall is coming.  Here's one of many spotted maple leaves that have already dropped off the tree.

Great informational signs are at strategic rest spots along the trails.
