Nice area for a State Park. Beautiful setting, close to the water and hiking trails into the woods. Enough camping sites to please anyone wishing to stay there. Lots of things to do in the area.

The views are to die for. On a clear day you see further down than the posters says. It gets very windy so come prepared.

We drove up to the top of Mount Constitution. While driving past Cascade Lake we started getting into the smoke. Ironically it was coming from the clearing of trees and possibly other vegetation at the "Environmental Learning Center." If cutting down the trees was a good idea, it was too bad they were burning piles of debris and creating unpleasant... More

Even on limited time, stop by and check out the tower view on Mt. Constatution. May get crowded, but in April there were not too many here. Colder at the top--be prepared. Bring your camera or sketching stuff since the views are great. Inside the tower the history of the park and other related bits about the park's founder were... More

Definitely make it a point to drive to the top of Mt. Constitution! The views so the islands, Mt. baker, and the Canadian cascades are breathtaking!

The lovely drive up the road in Moran State Park is windy and wonderful with views of majestic forests and mountain lakes. There are crowded campgrounds and you can swim in the lakes.The best part is the mystical view from the top of Mt. Constitution.

Great trails and hikes, lakes and mountains...I love this place. My son and I like to camp and I have camped and hiked in many places, this one is in my back yard (so to speak) and it is my favorite.

Take a good walk around the lake. The scenery changes and is quite picturesque. There are natural hideaways for wildlife, good picnic spots too.
