===History=== The park was established in 1923, when the original {{convert|1600|acre}} of a military reserve was transferred to Washington State Parks. The park's facilities were improved in the 1930s by the [[Civilian Conservation Corps]] (CCC), which built roads, trails, and buildings.<ref name=wasp/> The road to West Beach was created in 1950, opening the beach to vehicles. The former fish hatchery at [[Bowman Bay (Washington)|Bowman Bay]] became a part of the park in the early 1970s. The old entrance to the park was closed in 1997 when a new entrance was created at the intersection of Highway 20 and Cornet Bay road, improving access into and out of the park.
