The Foundation served as the contributions vehicle for private gifts that helped make this spectacular park a reality. Situated on the water against a forested backdrop, the 433-acre park features:

• A peaceful and beautiful island environment, easily accessible to mainland population centers and only 80 minutes from Seattle
• The Center for Wooden Boats’ second campus, offering boat building and handling classes; youth, individual and family programs; and boat rentals
• More than a mile of saltwater beach for public use
• 430 acres of forested uplands with a lake
• Overnight cabin rentals
• Conference and retreat facilities
• An environmental learning center for children
• A "time capsule" of almost 50 historic resort buildings listed on the National Historic Register and the Washington Heritage Register
• Courses related to the special attributes of the site, such as regional maritime history, natural history and Native American history
