The hike is an easy, mostly flat, 3-mile hike that protects undeveloped riverfront and important floodplain along the Snohomish River at Thomas' Eddy. Here the powerful river ripples and churns through a pair of tight hairpin turns, occasionally jumping its banks to create new channels and oxbow ponds. As you are hiking, watch for waterfowl, such as ducks and swans. Take in views of the marshy meadows and Lord Hill rising above the river. Pack a picnic lunch, water, and a camera, but leave the dogs at home as they are prohibited in the preserve.
From Snohomish, drive south on SR9 approximately 2.5 miles to East Lowell-Larimer Road; turn left onto Broadway (131st SE); turn left onto Connelly Road approximately 3/4 miles to park entrance on the left.
