Explore Moran State Park Moran State Park is located on Orcas Island and offers camping, freshwater swimming, old-growth Forest hiking, trout fishing, wildlife watching, scenic driving, challenging biking, and much more.
Hike bike or drive to the summit of Mt. Constitution Make sure you have extra space available on your digital camera for some photos of the spectacular view from atop of Mount Constitution. If your time on Orcas Island is limited you might want to drive to the top but if you have more time I suggest riding your bike or taking a hike. Make sure you choose a clear day to go up there otherwise you will be in the middle of the clouds. The drive up through Moran State Park is half the fun.
