- The Island Unit is accessible only by boat. A boat launch at the WDFW Skagit Headquarters Unit provides access to the unit and portions of the Skagit River estuary via Freshwater Slough. The unit is a popular waterfowl hunting area. Other recreation includes fishing, wildlife observation, and hiking. A mixture of natural and agricultural crops are grown on the Island Unit to enhance food resources for wintering waterfowl and provide improved hunting opportunity.
And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
Numbers 11:18 KJV
