Enjoy the pastoral view of this area while you can. In a month you'll be staring at 4 radio towers. Herald article.

There's already a couple of ugly towers in the area. I don't think a couple more are going to destroy the view, unless the plan on installing right in the middle of the park

They'll be directly on the other side of the river - an AM radio antenna farm. It will have a huge visual impact.

I'm sorry your original trip plans didn't work out. But those are some amazing pictures you brought back from your alternative walk! I like the flying bee ones best, and the cedar waxwings.
Is there a link that would give directions to this park?

You should try "casting" that lake/pond.....
Years ago I took my kayak on that lake and you could actually follow a water route all the way to the river, it was fun and quite the mini adventure...
My wife and I went there together the first time we ever met in person, she learned how to skip rocks and I lost the trail trying to get to the river down on the beach...crap I just admitted it...don't tell her that....

There are some people still contesting the tower issue but it is looking like a lost cause.

Nice bird pics.

Very nice photos!
Hike to the Snohomish River there through the park in September during old numbered years and you'll pull in your limit of "Humpies" - then smoke them to perfection.

I had to make two visits to this park in order to completely figure out its trail system. The main trail down the center of the prairie/marsh is more of a road than a trail. The path hangs left once it hits the dike and follows the river downstream to an unsigned trail fork. The path to the right leads to a large pebbled shore on the banks of the Snohomish. The path to the left eventually runs out into a thicket of tall grass and blackberry. It's possible to push on through the grass for at least a quarter mile past the trail fork.
There is another more overgrown trail that runs through the meadow parallel to the trail along the dike that gives a nice loop option. If one takes the aforementioned left fork and travels only a couple dozen feet, the faint trail shoots off to the left through the grass. It is easily missed if you aren't looking for it. I discovered the location of this trail by examining Google satellite imagery. Once on the path it becomes fairly simple to follow and will connect with the main path you walked in on in under a mile.

Schroeder, et al.
And now the valley is minus two of the antennas.
Anyone know what Skotdal is doing about the big one?
