Kayak Point Park — Thursday, Jan. 14, 2010

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

I was curious about the hiking possibilities at this Snohomish County park, located north of Marysville on the Puget Sound shoreline, and decided to stop by and check it out. Kayak Point features a long stretch of developed beach area with picnic tables, and an extensive campground in the forest above. As for trails, however, there are hardly any at all. Some short paths connect the campground and visitor center to the beach, that's about it. During low tide, some extended beach hiking may be available. Later in spring, when we start getting good daytime low tides, the beach hiking might be worth trying out.
