Walk 1/1 Northern State Recreation Area
5 miles, minimal elevation gain.
Trip description
Let's kick off 2026 by enjoying a healthy walk at this 700-acre Skagit County Parks property in the countryside near Sedro Woolley. This recreation area is not merely a place to hike near a former state mental hospital. In recent years, dramatic improvements have been made here, turning this into a top notch trail system with some excellent facilities and outstanding trails. You'll get to experience some beautiful forest trails, some views of the Cascade Foothills and Skagit Valley, and chances to see a variety of birds and other wildlife.
