Deception Pass State Park - Goose Rock
Puget Sound and Islands
As of May 10, 2026, Goose Rock at Deception Pass State Park offers a beautiful spring hike with blooming wildflowers and moss varieties. Trails are generally clear, though one report from April 10 mentions a narrow, steep drop-off trail to avoid. Parking can be busy, especially at North Beach lot on weekends or during events like spring break, leading some to park on the roadside (April 10, February 22). Trailheads may not be clearly marked; access to the summit trail can be found by descending stairs under the bridge (May 2). Visitors should pack out all trash, including dog waste.
