There are overnight accommodations for visitors in various small towns and along the water front. Popular cafes and galleries dot the island. Mount Constitution, rises prominently from the center of Moran State park to an elevation 2409 feet and is a popular destination. The park has a popular fresh water lake used for swimming and non-motorized boating. But visitors come to Orcas Island to see the water and costal areas. The water is clean and crystal clear. The wildlife is stunning above and below the water. From bald eagles to Orca and other whales. Orcas Island is also home to three historic camps: Camp Orkila, Four Winds Westward Ho and Camp Indralaya.
