Deception Pass - Odell Property Acq
Description:
This project will allow State Parks to purchase the south half of the Odell ownerships and specifically, the Odell property south of Rosario Road. This piece of the Odell ownership is the most critical piece in terms of managing and protecting a buffer adjacent to the state park's Bowman Bay campground. State Parks would manage this property as a buffer area adjacent to the waterfront campground, with trails and possibly a viewpoint to be developed on the property in the future. Expansion of the existing campground onto this property is not anticipated.

Deception Pass State Park is located on both the Skagit County and Island County sides of Deception Pass. The Deception Pass Bridge is located on Highway 20 and connects Fidalgo and Whidbey Islands. This project is in the Skagit County portion of Deception Pass State Park, off of Highway 20, north of the D.P. bridge. Driving south on Highway 20 down Fidalgo Island (Anacortes), enter Deception Pass State Park, with Pass Lake on your right. Bowman Bay and Rosario Beach campgrounds and day use areas are accessed via Rosario Road, which you would turn onto to your right past Pass Lake.
