Confirmed from Skagit River Walk Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Skagit River Walk Park
“What a beautiful day to buy plants and baked goods and crafts everything was beautiful the sun was out oh, it can't get much better than this!”
Great waterfront walk (or bike ride) and lots of local plants, flowers and art.
Awesome stretch of walk way every one will enjoy especially in summertime or any nice weather to be outside walking on the river side. Accessible public restrooms and it's near in the heart of the business hub of Mount Vernon. Family friendly park to go picnic.
Great place to go for a quick walk if you go along the river. Didn't see any bathrooms or places for garbage though, which resulted in people leaving their "dog" bags at the trail heads. Nice little pile of them. We didn't walk far enough to see a playground anywhere. We walked from the "park" in downtown Mt.
Great park! There's a nice walking path, lots of art, beautiful view of the river, good people watching, parking and access to many good restaurants. Tables and benches to enjoy a bite, talk with a friend or take in the view. Two thumbs up for an "urban" park!
