Fort Ebey was originally built for coastal defense in World War II. It, along with Fort Casey (to the south on Whidbey Island), Fort Worden (to the west across Admiralty Inlet near Port Townsend on the Quimper Peninsula), and Fort Flagler (on Marrowstone Island southeast of Port Townsend) provided a formidable military presence at the entrance to Puget Sound. All four were decommissioned after the war and became state parks. Visit each one to take in their fabulous Salish Sea views, explore their gun batteries and add a few more caches to your find list.
A printable map of Fort Ebey State Park can be found here. You can also stop by the Fort Ebey ranger station to pick up a map. While hiking in the area, please abide by the restrictions posted for each trail.
