A little bit about the Skagit River

Eagles in Trees

The Skagit River runs from the Cascade Mountains to Puget Sound, and accounts for over 20% of the fresh water entering the Sound. 

Over the last 30 years many efforts have been made to preserve the river for generations to come.  Every year the Skagit River draws in hundreds of Bald Eagles, as well as thousands of other migrating birds. 

The Skagit River is the only river in Washington State that still hosts native populations of all five Pacific Salmon - chinook, coho, sockeye, chum and pink.  This is what draws in the platoons of Bald Eagles that perch in the Douglas fir and Cottonwood trees overlooking the river.
