Hiking Riverview Wildlife Refuge

This wildlife refuge hugging the north side of the Snohomish River is just a short drive from downtown Snohomish and provides visitors with a space to take a quiet stroll or go birdwatching.

A trail circumnavigates the wildlife refuge, and is great for a family-friendly hike or after-work nature walk.

WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.

Getting There

From downtown Snohomish, head north on Avenue D to Bonneville Avenue. Continue on Bonneville Avenue for about 0.3 miles, at which point it will veer left and turn into 16th Street. Continue on 16th Street — which will become King Road — for another 0.3 miles, then turn left onto 85th Avenue SE/King Road. Follow King Road for about a mile, then turn left onto Riverview Road. In about half a mile, the dirt parking area will be on your right.

You can also take Riverview Road from the east taking 1st Street and 2nd Street, but you will have to do a loop past the refuge entrance, as the left turn to the parking lot from Riverview Road is blocked by a median.
