Hiking Westcott Bay Nature Reserve and Sculpture Park
Part hike, part wander, this 20-acre sculpture garden is an outdoor gallery of nature-oriented artwork. There are few paths, but more than 100 pieces of artwork to discover in this special place adjacent to Roche Harbor on San Juan Island and managed by the San Juan Islands Museum of Art.
Upon arrival, visitors are prompted for a $5 per person donation. It is worth it for the sheer variety and amount of artwork on display. Choose a direction explore the meadows, pond and short trails down to Westcott Bay. It would be difficult to see every piece of art in one visit.
WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.
Getting There
From the San Juan Island ferry dock, head into town and turn right on 2nd Street. This will curve into Guard Street. Go one block and take a right on Tucker Street. Tucker will become Roche Harbor Road - go for more than 8 miles. Just after the intersection with White Point Road, look for the sculpture garden and parking on the left. Park here.
