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 the San Juan Islands group in
San Juan County,
Washington.[3] It has 2,049 feet (625 m) of shoreline and a trail three-tenths of a mile long that circles the island. It is only accessible by water. The Washington State Parks originally acquired a portion of the island from the
Bureau of Land Management in 1964 for $15.27, with a second acquisition in 1967 from the
DNR at no cost.[4]
Activities on the Island

Boating, although community reports indicate that the dock on the island was destroyed and has yet to be repaired.[6]
Fishing, as well as oyster and crab harvesting.[5]
