Kopachuck

Kopachuck is a 280-acre state park in Washington, managed by the state park agency and located about a mile from the town of Forest Beach. The park holds one campground, making it a base for overnight stays as well as day visits. Weather here follows a clear seasonal pattern. Typical averages from a nearby weather station, Tacoma Narrows Ap, show July and August as the warmest and driest months, with highs around 76°F, lows near 54°F, and only four to five wet days a month. June and September are a step cooler, with highs near 70°F and about nine wet days each. From November through March, highs sit in the upper 40s to low 50s, lows drop into the upper 30s, and wet days climb to roughly 18 to 21 a month, so the stretch from late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to go. Two short hikes start right at the park, the Upper Loop Trail and the Interpretive Loop Trail, each about 0.1 mile away. Farther afield, the Sehmel Perimeter Trail is about 3 miles off, and the Adam Tallman Nature Park Trail is roughly 4 miles away.
