This 4-mile-long by half-mile-wide man-made island lies just off the Everett waterfront. A free summer ferry transports visitors about every half-hour across the Snohomish River channel until Sept. 5. The island was created at the turn of the last century by dredging in an ill-fated plan to create a freshwater harbor. The island now serves as a refuge for 45 species of birds. The west side of the island features a gently sloping beach that extends far out into Puget Sound, with the shallow water warmed to pleasant wading temperatures. A lot of water remains in the beach sand at low tide, so don't wear shoes you care about. A short trail wanders south of the ranger station;, visitors are requested to keep to the beaches further north to protect the habitat.
