The Wild Side of Washington


Situated between the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains in Mason County, Washington; Hood Canal is filled with world-class activities like SCUBA and skydiving, a thriving culinary scene sampling heavily from locally-sourced and wild-caught fare, an active social calendar packed with live music and community events and plenty of places to hide away from it all when you just want the world to yourself. A short jump from Seattle or Portland – your next adventure is right around the corner. 

Hood Canal is Washington's wild side. And it is a great place to visit.
Please wear masks when social distancing is not possible in the trails and in our businesses.
If you are not feeling well, please choose to visit when you are healthy.
