With over 86-acres, Illahee State Park has become one of the top spots for geocaching enthusiast’s and metal detecting.
Nestled between Bremerton and Bainbridge Island, Illahee boasts a 1,785-foot-long saltwater shoreline along Port Orchard bay. Visitors can access the park via land or water via a watercraft launch and a dock.
Crabbing, fishing and shellfish harvesting are extremely superb here and during the summer months, the warm lake water is the perfect invitation for water skiers, paddlers, divers and swimmers. For the landlubbers, the park offers horseshoe pits, volleyball courts and a softball field as well as two large naval guns honoring the parks founder, Earl Henry Harkins.
