Fort Flagler State Park is a Washington state park on the site of Fort Flagler, a former United States Army fort at the northern end of Marrowstone Island. From Fort Flagler, visitors can see Port Townsend to the northwest, the cranes at the Navy base on Indian Island to the west, and Whidbey Island eastward across Admiralty Inlet. Flagler Road (SR 116) terminates inside the park.

Amenities and activities

Fort Flagler has hiking and biking trails, individual campsites suitable for cars, two group campsites, two boat launches, and several historical buildings where visitors can stay - the Hospital Steward's House, the Waterway House, and the North and South Non-Commissioned Officers' Quarters.

In the 1960s and 1970s it was home to the Seattle Youth Symphony's Pacific Northwest Music Camp and Marrowstone Music Festival. A film "1812 Overture" was filmed on location there in the mid 1970s.

Every August, the Kamiak Show Band holds its annual "band camp," during which band members learn new music, prepare for the upcoming marching band season, and rehearse in sessions enjoyed by members of the visiting public.

Newport High School (Bellevue, Washington) also holds a cross-country camp at Fort Flagler for one week during the summer.

Eastside Catholic High School juniors and seniors take a trip to Fort Flagler for the Destiny retreat.
