About

Sucia Island is an 813-acre state park in Washington, managed by the state park agency. The nearest town is Buckhorn, about 4 miles away. Within the park are nine campgrounds, making it a place to plan an overnight stay rather than just a short visit. Summer is the driest and warmest stretch. July and August typically see highs around 69°F and lows around 54°F, with only about five wet days each month. June and September are a step cooler, with highs near 65°F and about seven wet days. Spring warms gradually from around 50°F in March to 61°F in May. From October onward the weather turns wetter, and November through January average about 15 wet days a month. Winter highs sit in the mid-40s, lows dip to about 38°F, and snow is rare, about one day in December and one in January. These are typical averages from a nearby weather station at Olga, about 11 miles away. Patos Island is the closest neighbor at under 4 miles. The red trail and North Trail lie within about 6 miles. Turtleback South Trail is about 8.5 miles away for more hiking in the area.
