Cascadia Marine Trail Goals

The primary goal of the Cascadia Marine Trail is to secure camping areas every 5 to 8 miles for the safety of non-motorized boaters traveling on Puget Sound waters. The length of Puget Sound shoreline, according to various sources, is between 1,800 and 2,300 miles. The trail will be considered complete at a point in time when there are between 225 and 460 campsites.

At the October 23, 1992 Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission meeting the future minimum water trail marine park standards were set. They are:

  • A beach or small landing area
  • Stable access to uplands from high tide line
  • A signed, designated camping site near the beach which is suitable for up to 16 + people and includes table and camp stove
  • A nearby toilet facility
  • Space to secure boats overnight above high tide line
  • A fee collection station/shelter
  • Water, if available
Think you have a suitable property or know of publicly accessible shoreline? Consider these development issues and contact WWTA – 206.545.9161 or email newcmtsites@wwta.org.
