Field trip: GoWalk!: Beginner Urban Walking Series
December GoWalk! Urban Walks: 2 to 5 miles, 200 to 450 feet of elevation gain - Meadowdale Beach Park
We will meet at Haines Wharf Park, a very small park overlooking the Sound in Edmonds, WA. We walk through a neighborhood and up the service road leading to the beach. I'm hoping we can do some beach walking (tide should be on the low side) and climb at least part way up the trail.

Meeting time: 9:30
We will be on paved surfaces to and from the beach and on trails and sand while in the park. I recommend boots/shoes with good traction. Poles will be helpful depending how far up (and down!) we go on the main trail.
Here's a link to a great youtube video that discusses the estuary restoration project. If you have been to the beach prior to this project's completion, you will be pleasantly surprised! Meadowdale Beach Park and Estuary Restoration Project (2023) | Snohomish County, WA - Official Website
