The point offers stunning views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Olympic Mountains, and Mount Baker. Visitors can hike the trails to explore the rocky shoreline, watch for wildlife, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The area is also a popular spot for kayaking and paddleboarding, with calm waters and plenty of opportunities to spot marine life such as seals, sea lions, and porpoises. Additionally, Cattle Point is an excellent spot for birdwatching, with frequent sightings of bald eagles, great blue herons, and various migratory species passing through.

Aside from its natural beauty, Cattle Point is also steeped in history. The area was originally used by Coast Salish tribes for fishing and hunting before being claimed by the Hudson's Bay Company in the early 1800s. Later, the land was acquired by American settlers and used for ranching before being purchased by the U.S. government as part of the San Juan Island National Historical Park. Today, visitors can explore the historic structures and learn about the area's cultural significance at the American Camp Visitor Center. Overall, Cattle Point offers a unique blend of natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and cultural history that makes it a must-see destination for anyone visiting the San Juan Islands watershed.
