    Road cycling

    Lime Kiln State Park is renouned as one of the world's best whale-watching shore areas and is the inspiration for The Whale Trail. Three pods of southern resident orcas, which are named the J pod, K pod, and L pod, come by every year. The best time to spot them is from May to September, and they often come very close to shore.
