About
Larrabee State Park is a Washington state park managed by State Park and Recreation, about 6 miles from the town of Edison. The park's own campground, Larrabee State Park Campground, sits just 0.6 miles away, making it the natural base for an overnight stay. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 75°F with only about six wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the upper 40s and rain on 20 days a month. Several trails start close by. Rooty Ridge is about 1.9 miles away, and Rooty Ridge Lower and Hemlock Trail are each within about 2.4 miles. For a change of pace, the Sehome Arboretum climbing area is roughly 6 miles off.
