A black and white fine art landscape photograph of a fallen tree in the forest at Kopachuck State Park, Washington.

EXIF: Nikon Z7, Nikkor Z 24-70/4 S lens, ISO 64, 24 mm, ƒ8, 1/40 second.

Kopachuck State Park is a 109-acre park situated on Henderson Bay in the Puget Sound, near Gig Harbor, Washington. With one-mile of shoreline, the park provides views of the Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound, and beautiful sunsets.

The park bears a name whose origin derives from the language of the Chinook Tribe, a band of Pacific Coastal Indians. Kopachuck is a merging of two words: “Kopa” meaning “at” and “chuck” meaning “water.” The Puyallup and Nisqually tribes used this area of the Puget Sound as a seasonal fishing and clamming site.

While most of the activities center around the beach, there are over two miles of hiking trails through the forest.
