accessibility of Cottonwood Island Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)

Cottonwood Island Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov) The Cottonwood Island Unit is a unique forested property that is representative of a historic habitat type that would have been more widespread along the lower Skagit River Valley. It provides valuable mature cottonwood forest habitat for a variety of forest birds and raptors, primarily buteos and eagles. The remnant of Cottonwood Slough also provides off-channel habitat for salmonids during certain times of the year and has been evaluated for potential habitat restoration projects.

The primary public use occurs at the Spud House Boat Launch located at the northwest edge of the unit. The boat launch also provides a parking area and public restroom, and it is a popular site for bank fishing and putting boats in the water to fish the river when seasons are open.
