Fir Island

Formed by the forks of the South and North Skagit Rivers, Fir Island is located on the east side of Skagit Bay between the towns of Conway and La Conner. Great location for hiking or sea kayaking.

Fir Island is the winter home of migratory snow geese, trumpeter and tundra swans, as well as over 180 species of birds recorded throughout the year. Look for flying creatures such as ducks, herons, eagles, and more. This is a stop for migrating geese and swans in winter. Trip planning should include a check for current year hunting season and low tides that turn the delta into a mud flat. 

Hike

Easy hike with minimal elevation gain. There are 7.5 miles of hiking on trails in the Skagit Wildlife Area and on country roads. 

Sea Kayak

Trips can be made as a circumnavigation of the island or one way with a shuttle to La Conner with side trip to Goat Island as time and conditions allow.
