Deception Pass State Park is a 4,134-acre marine and camping park with 77,000 feet of saltwater shoreline, and 33,900 feet of freshwater shoreline on three lakes. Rugged cliffs drop to meet the turbulent waters of Deception Pass. The park is outstanding for breath-taking views, old-growth forests and abundant wildlife.

The Ben Ure Cabin at Deception Pass sits on Ben Ure Island near Cornet Bay with views of Puget Sound and Mount Baker. Access is only by beachable human-powered watercraft such as a kayak or rowboat. The modern cabin is 12’x24’ and features a large deck overlooking the water, picnic table, fully furnished electric kitchen, double-sized hide-a-bed couch, electric heat, lights, bathroom and outdoor shower. Drinking water must be brought to site.
