Bay View State Park is a public recreation area located on Padilla Bay in Skagit County, Washington, USA. The state park's 66 acres (27 ha) include 1,285 feet (392 m) of shoreline and facilities for camping, picnicking, swimming and beachcombing. It originated in 1925 when the Skagit County Agricultural Association donated land to the state to be used for park purposes.[2] The park is crossed by a stretch of the Pacific Northwest Trail.[3]
