PARKS AND TRAILS
 CATHERINE CREEK PARK
Named for the stream that forms its eastern border, Catherine Creek Park consists of a network of trails in a tall stand of conifers. The gravel trails provide a quiet retreat in the middle of town. The park is home to an 18 hole disk golf course which is fun for beginners and challenges even the best of players. Players from all over the region come to take on the tricky and scenic course. Thanks to Dr. Fred Chittenden for designing, building and maintaining the course.

 CENTENNIAL TRAIL
Centennial Trail is 7.5 miles long extending from Snohomish to Arlington. The trail is the mellower cousin of Seattle's Burke-Gilman trail and is frequented by walkers, runners and
non-motorized wheels. There is a separate equestrian path for the horses. Deer are occasionally seen along the trail.

 CENTENNIAL WOODS
Centennial Woods is a 6.5 acre nature park located adjacent to the Centennial Trail. Gravel trails lead around the wetlands through the one-time barrow
pit, now re-grown with cedar, hemlock, maple and ferns. The trails in this quiet park provide
pedestrian access between Centennial Trail to the
east and Catherine Creek Park to the west.

 MILL COVE RESERVE
This park is named after Rucker's Mill that once graced this location during the first half of the 20th century. Much of the one acre site is in wetlands, a
remnant of a time when the lake flowed out here, until the mill relocated the outflow to its present location to the north. Planned improvements for
the park include a boardwalk leading from Main
Street to waters' edge, with benches and
interpretive signs, creating a secluded retreat downtown. At waters' edge, you can see the
pilings that survived from the mill. These days
the pilings are used as perches by herons and cormorants. |
