Lyman Slough was once a popular fishing spot on the west side of Lyman. Fishermen would walk from Lyman on the gravel bars along the banks of the Skagit River. The river is shifting and a large slough now separates the mainland from the gravel bars much of the year. Fishermen still try their luck from boats on the river and the river may shift again in the future.
Skagit Land Trust acquired this property with assistance from the Governor's Salmon Recovery Funding Office and Skagit County Public Works to protect the significant coho rearing habitat found here. The property also hosts a riparian woodland, home to many songbirds, amphibians and bats.
We encourage you to visit this property!
