Park History

Dave Beck, Jr., a former Teamsters Union president, operated a gravel mining operation along the river. The site was purchased by the Palzer family and used for raising livestock and agriculture. The site was to be subdivided and sold for housing. The Snohomish Sportsman Association, led by Bob Heirman, led a campaign to preserve public access to one of the most popular steelhead fishing spots on the river. The parks department worked with the Association to acquire the property.
