Skagit County is a year-round outdoor pursuits hotspot. Shimmering Ross Lake, in the North Cascades National Park, is an idyllic spot for a leisurely day of canoeing or kayaking, while the crystal-clear Skagit River is a haven for fishers, teeming with salmon and trout. For an extra jolt of adrenalin, the river is also a popular spot for rafting – a truly hair-raising way to take in the untamed, rugged scenery. Each winter, powder-soft snow transforms the nearby mountains into thrilling adventure playgrounds, with skiing and snowmobiling among the most popular local pastimes.

Magnificent natural sights abound all over Skagit County, but to truly get away from it all, set aside some time to explore its idyllic islands. Cypress Island is a perennially popular destination for kayakers, with its fragrant Douglas fir forests and tranquil campsites. Meanwhile, Fir Island is a must-visit for birdwatchers. Each winter it's home to thousands of graceful snow geese, and you may well also catch sight of a majestic bald eagle circling overhead.
