About

Peace Arch is a 19-acre state park in Washington, about a mile from the town of Blaine. The land is managed by the state park agency, and the park itself is small enough to fit easily into a short visit. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Blaine show July and August highs around 73°F with only about six wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on most days. For more time outdoors nearby, Dakota Creek offers canoeing about 5 miles away, and the Point Whitehorn Marine Reserve Trail is a hike roughly 8 miles off.
