Moran State Park

Moran State Park is the fourth largest state park in Washington, United States. Located on Orcas Island in the middle of the San Juan Islands in Puget Sound, Moran State Park encompasses over 5,000 acres of various terrain including forests, wetlands, bogs, hills, and lakes. It is the largest public recreation area in the San Juan Islands. Mount Constitution (elevation ) is a focal point of the park at the highest point in San Juan County.
==History==

The land for Moran State Park was donated to the state in 1921 by Seattle mayor and shipbuilder Robert Moran.〔 Due to poor health, Moran moved to Orcas Island and between 1906 and 1909 built his estate, naming it Rosario. Wood and stone material found on the island were used to construct the estate's houses and buildings.
In August 1935, 28 men from the 4768th Company of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) begin constructing a stone observation tower atop 2,409-foot Mount Constitution in Moran State Park on Orcas Island. Designed by noted Seattle architect Ellsworth Storey (1879-1960), the tower is the literal and figurative high point of eight years of work by crews from the CCC's Camp Moran. The observation tower sits at the highest point in the San Juan Islands and is boasted as the second best marine view in the western hemisphere behind Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The former Moran estate is privately operated as Rosario Resort and Spa and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.〔 The Rosario mansion features a museum honoring Robert Moran, complete with original furnishings. The mansion's music room is home to a 1913 34-rank Aeolian pipe organ and 1900 Steinway grand piano, both of which are still played for visitors today. The Civilian Conservation Corps built many of the park's trails, roads, bridges, and buildings during the 1930s.〔
