Skagit-Sauk Reach Trail
Proposed Trailhead Sign

• Bald Eagles migrate to the Skagit River every winter to feed on spawned salmon.  During spawning season, the Skagit River hosts the largest concentration of bald eagles in the lower 48 states.  HMSP is an optimal place to view these magnificent birds.
• The new 4-mile Skagit-Sauk Reach Trail is a great way to watch the birds as they swoop from the riverside snags to feed on spawned-out Chum Salmon. 
• The craggy snow covered mountain peaks surrounding HMSP are a draw for the holiday season. The high mountain peaks and the flowing meander of the Skagit River make the park a quintessential winter wonderland.
• Rafting companies run tours out of the park during the winter months.  River rafting is a great way to see bald eagles and other Skagit River associated wildlife. 

Our current project is raising $15,000 for construction of a trailhead sign for the new Skagit-Sauk Reach Trail at Howard Miller Steelhead Park. If you have a vision for parks, trails, open spaces and recreation in Skagit County, consider the Skagit Parks Foundation your opportunity to fund community projects through public-private partnerships.

Thank You!
