| | Bird Watching | | |
| | Birch Bay State Park | | offers spectacular views of Canada's Gulf Islands and Coast Mountains, and an opportunity to explore the shoreline, forests and marshes typical of the Pacific Northwest. An important feature of the park is Terrell Marsh Trail, a one-half mile hiking trail through Puget Sound forest and marsh environments. Terrell Creek Marsh is one of the last saltwater/freshwater estuaries in this part of Washington. The self-guided interpretive trail offers an extremely beautiful meander through a typical northwest mixed forest, including a view of Terrell Marsh, home to blue herons, red-winged blackbirds and other water fowl. The trail has a slight slope and is a very easy walk, even for small children. |
