Birdwatching

This small day-use park is adjacent to the expansive Willapa National Wildlife Refuge on the Pacific Ocean shore. Bring binoculars -- many kinds of water and land-based birds nest at Leadbetter Point State Park and scan the horizon for eagles, peregrine falcons, brown pelicans, terns and ducks. The park's forest is also alive with feathered friends - western tanager, warblers and black-headed grosbeak in summer, and chickadees, kinglets, and thrushes year round. 

Boating and water activities
