Description

793 acres located south of SR-522 on Paradise Lake Road and adjacent to the Snohomish/King County line.  A majority of the site is heavily-timbered and contains a vast wetland area.

Walking and biking trails meander throughout the site.

 
A significant portion of the headwaters of the Bear Creek watershed is located on this site. One of the most productive salmon streams in the Sammamish River System is located here.
