History
Fort Ebey was built on Partridge Point[3] in 1942 as a World War II coastal defense near the mouth of Puget Sound. The fort was named for Isaac Neff Ebey,[4] a pioneering homesteader on Whidbey Island. The fort included a battery of two 6-inch guns that were later cut up for scrap.[5]
The state first acquired the land through the purchase of 204 acres from the federal government in 1965. Additional acquisitions were made between 1968 and 1974, adding nearly 24 acres to the site. The park was further increased through a purchase from the Department of Natural Resources and a land swap arrangement with a private owner in 1990 and 1997.[5] The park opened in 1981.[2]
Activities and amenities
The park includes Шаблон:Convert of saltwater shoreline, the Шаблон:Convert freshwater Lake Pondilla,[6][7] and 25 miles of trails. A Шаблон:Convert stretch of the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail crosses the park. Park activities include picnicking, camping, fishing, beachcombing, and paragliding.[2]
