The bluff trail that descends from the campgrounds at Kayak Point to the shoreline below has recently suffered a wash out, and with your help, WTA aims to fix the problem.

If you live between Everett and Mount Vernon, this is a good distance for a day trip. This is the perfect opportunity to get involved on trails in Snohomish County.

Plus, when you volunteer, you won't need to pay the $7 day use parking.
