The state park's 222 acres (90 ha) include 11.5 acres (4.7 ha) of forested McMicken Island and 1,661 feet (506 m) of saltwater shoreline with a sheltered cove. A tombolo (sand bar) connects McMicken Island to Harstine Island at low tide. Park activities include hiking, boating, and harvesting shellfish. The park is administered as a satellite of Jarrell Cove State Park. It bears the name of William C. McMicken, who was Washington Surveyor General from 1873 to 1886.
