I took my 10 y/o daughter out for our very first hike of the year to Spencer Island. She was breaking in a new pair of boots, so we wanted an easy nature hike. The day was clear and lots of walkers were out and many had their dogs with them. The trail that we went on was in excellent condition. We took the paved trail to the south first, and it rounds back up to meet up with the gravel road that passes through the Everett water treatment plant at the Jackknife bridge. We saw lots of mallard ducks and other black and white ducks. The best sight on the hike was a seal playing around in the Snohomish River. We watched him for about 20 minutes as he surfaced and submerged several times. I strongly recommend this hike for families with small children.
