Skagit River Delta (WA)
The Skagit River Delta is a
great place to pack a lunch and
spend the day. It transitions
from forest... to grasslands...to
tide flats...which, makes the
landscape very interesting. A
map is very handy to have due
to its maze like channels. Be
aware of the tides. When the
tide is lower than 3 feet,  some
of the channels start to dry up.
It takes about  two hours after
low tide before the current
changes and starts flowing
back up stream. Numerous
birds call the Delta their home
so don't forget the bird book
and a pair of binoculars. I think
this trip is great for the whole
family or a place to just get lost
for awhile.
