This wetland in the town of Clear Lake has been protected in a series of four acquisitions and donations. In 1998, eleven acres on the east side of Mud Lake were donated to the Trust and in 2000, 2003, and 2006 an additional 49 acres were purchased with the Trust's land acquisition fund. This lake provides important watefowl habitat and takes in flood waters backed up from the Skagit River.
There is a grassy strip along Hwy 9 with a view overlooking the lake and an interpretive sign with historical information. This property is occasionally used for environmental education for school groups.
Driving Directions: This property is at the intersection of Hwy 9 and Mud Lake Rd in Clear Lake. If you are coming from Mount Vernon, the property is just before Francis Rd.
