Fort Ebey
About
Fort Ebey is a 644-acre state park in Washington, about 3.5 miles from Coupeville. Managed by the state park agency, it sits within Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve and holds two campgrounds inside its boundaries, making it a natural base for overnight stays on this part of the island. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. July and August typically bring highs around 70°F with only about five wet days a month, according to averages from a nearby weather station in Coupeville. Several trails start close by. Emilie's Ridge and Fisher Ridge are each about 0.4 miles away, and the Boundary Trail is about half a mile off. Paddlers can look to the Cascadia Marine Trail Campsite at Fort Ebey State Park, about 0.7 miles away.
