Join us in partnership with Skagit County Commissioners and Skagit County Parks to celebrate the grand re-opening of the new and improved Pressentin County Park on June 10th! For nearly a decade Skagit Fisheries has been working with Skagit County Parks to restore a historic side channel through Pressentin Park that will maximize salmon benefit while also providing a diversity of new low impact recreation opportunities for the community and visitors. This project was designed to improve rearing habitat for Chinook salmon, which gives orcas a bigger supply of food.

In 2021, this channel was finally recreated and reconnected to the Skagit River. Salmon immediately began using the new habitat in the fall, and we are greatly looking forward to the community having new opportunities to recreate and view salmon while enjoying a growing forest at this County Park.

The Ribbon Cutting Celebration will take place at 1 PM on June 10th at Pressentin County Park in Marblemount.  There will be brief remarks from Skagit County Commissioners and Project Partners followed by a walking tour of the Park along ADA accessible trails.
