Deception Pass Bridge & State Park

Deception Pass Bridge spans the gap between Whidbey Island and Fildalgo Island. The iconic views attract thousands of visitors each year. Several parking areas allow foot traffic on the bridge, but the sidewalk is very narrow, so plan accordingly. Deception Pass State Park on Whidbey Island is 4,134 acres, and offers docks for boat moorage, freshwater and saltwater fishing, crabbing, and swimming. Miles of hiking trails offer views of inland lakes and Puget Sound islands. Anacortes Kayak Tours offer sea-kayak trips through Deception Pass and beyond. The Maiden of Deception Pass story pole is located in the Rosario Beach area of the park, on Fidalgo Island.
