This wildlife area is considered one of the best places in Northwest Washington to view falcons, short-eared owls, and shorebirds. It's a few miles north of Bayview SP on the Samish Island Road. Birders refer to it as the West 90.
From the parking lot you can hike to the dike which is about 3/4 mile. Your route depends on the wetness of the wetlands. One can turn right on the dike to make a loop back to the parking lot or you can walk the dike twice, returning the way you came.
