Maury Island Viewpoint Trail

The east side of Maury Island is home to the Maury Island Marine Park. The park is located on the east side of the Sound and has a beautiful view of the East Passage, Mount Rainier and the mountains. The site was important to early Native Americans and is referenced in a legend about Snake People who arrived from the mainland. The park contains rare stands of Pacific Madrone, a salt marsh, and important fish and wildlife habitat. The Friends of Maury Island Marine Park are working with King County Parks to make improvements to the park, including a picnic shelter and shoreline restoration.
