Saddlebag Island Marine State Park is a public recreation area made up of 26-acre (11 ha) Saddlebag Island, part of the San Juan Islands, in Skagit County, Washington.[2] The island sits in Padilla Bay four miles (6.4 km) northeast of Anacortes, Washington. Dot Island[3] and Huckleberry Island[4] lie nearby. Saddlebag Island was held in private ownership until 1974, when the state purchased it for $192,000 for use as a state park.[5]
