Birch Bay State Park is a kitesurfing spot in the far north of Washington State, just a few kilometers from the Canadian border. This shallow bay offers a sheltered body of water with ideal conditions for intermediate riders. Vast sand flats exposed at low tide, reducing the rideable area. The state park offers camping, trails, and facilities. Views of Mount Baker and the San Juan Islands.
