Eagle Island Marine State Park, WA
Look no further than Eagle Island for a peaceful kayak stop and stunning views of Mount Rainier. Nestled between Anderson Island and McNeil Island southwest of Tacoma, Eagle Island is a South Puget Sound gem only accessible by boat. Park yourself on the eastern shore and gaze out across Anderson Island to see Western Washington’s iconic peak silently reign over the land. If you’re lucky, you may spot some harbor seals who are known to sun themselves here. This tiny five acre island has three mooring buoys if you’d like to stay overnight before the next stop on your South Puget Sound adventure.
