Absolutely breathtaking natural wonder, 100% worth every minute of the trip!…read moreWe visited the ice cave in June, and the ice formations inside were absolutely spectacular--far more stunning than any photos online. The whole cave drips water nonstop, which creates such a magical, serene frozen atmosphere that feels totally otherworldly. The hike leading to the cave is equally lovely. The trail winds through thick forest with full tree cover providing plenty of cool shade the entire way. Lush green trees surround the path, making the walk gentle and scenic even in warm June weather. The forest views alone made the journey enjoyable before we even reached the ice cave. Inside, massive ice walls and natural ice sculptures stretch everywhere. The constant dripping water echoes softly through the cavern, adding to the surreal vibe. Just a small tip: bring a light waterproof jacket to avoid getting splashed by all the dripping ice water. This trip balanced beautiful woodland hiking and an incredible frozen cave experience perfectly. It's easily one of the best outdoor spots I've checked out, and I'd highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

A tour of Rockport State Park is a tour of the old growth Pacific Northwest forests, with trees so…read moretall most of the views will be looking up. For the first part of our exploration of this state park we simply stood in the parking lot and looked up, watching the tops of the trees hundreds of feet up sway in the wind. It almost seemed as though they had reached their final height, not able to grow any taller without breaking off. Some of the trees had tested their limits and crashed to the ground. The campground in the state park was permanently closed because massive limbs falling hundreds of feet will punch through any RV on the market. After staring up at the trees for a while, we decided to drive through the park. It was weird to the see the old campsites, looking like they were slowly returning to the forest, scattered amongst the dense forest. Some of the trees are 400-600 years old, giving any observer a true feeling of what the forest must've felt like before the lumber industry moved in.

Beautiful and peaceful State Park…read more We were heading to North Cascades Park and saw the sign for Rockport. We try to check out any state parks we can, so we made an impromptu turn in. There were only a couple cars in the lot, and no one in sight. As I was in the bathroom...which by the way, as another reviewer mentioned, were some of the cleanest I've ever seen in a park...my husband was checking out the trail map. Knowing my deep affinity for trees, especially the elderly ones, he had quickly made the decision we were taking a short trail while here. We took off across the highway to Sauk Springs Trail to see the old grandmother cedar. The trail was a bit muddy at times but nothing tragic. A narrow, serene path winds through the old growth forest passing by the GORGEOUS old cedar and continuing on the loop back to the park entrance. On our way back to the van we noticed a sign about the now closed campground portion of the park. Personally I loved the idea that rather than destroy the precious old growth trees that had become fragile, the park decided in 2007 to close the campground, letting nature have its home while letting hikers still take in the beauty via foot or by driving through. As we left we did just that, drove a loop through the old campgrounds...so cool to see nature slowly reclaiming the space. This park is beautiful. Pristine grounds and lovely trails. Definitely a great place to stop by for a picnic, a hike, and to check out old Grandmother!

A lot of Families take the upper loop because there is a paved loop around the small area so the Kids are all in various skateboards electric scooters and rollers skates until 10:00 at night. The lower loop is a little more steep so less attractive. Update When We told The Park Ranger about " being Tired of putting Quarters in the shower machine and getting Cold water" they 2 Trucks showed up to fix it and told Me "the Free shower is on them" How quick n nice is that!

My mom and I stopped here and at the nearby Rockport State Park recently on Wednesday 1 July 2020…read more We arrived in the morning just before 11 a.m., it had been a rainy morning and we managed to get here in a brief window where the rain stopped. It was still overcast, but no rain can be a plus when out hiking. The entrance to the park is well marked and there is a parking lot for those who are at the park for day use like we were. After parking our car we set out to explore the trails down to the river and back. Informational signs spot the trail and provide background and helpful tidbits if you are on the look-out for wildlife or their tracks. The mosquitos were fiercest at the parking lot and a number of them bit me through my clothing. Coming back I'd wear more layers or insect repellent if trying not to get bit. The trail we walked ran along the Skagit River for a short bit then twisted through the woods and back to the parking lot. On the way out to the Skagit River we passed a clearing. The grass was tall in the clearing center, but around the edges the grass had been cut to provide a walking path if one so yearned. We encountered mostly birds on our visit in terms of wildlife. The park itself wasn't too busy when we arrived, but we started to see more people by the time we departed. Restrooms were clean and we maintained our social distance.

This is frustrating as a tax paying member of the community. I understand that the high school likes to use this park to play and that as a player it would be annoying to find dog waste on the field. HOWEVER, I don't think that banning dogs from the softball field is the answer. All members of the community should be able to use the park as they see fit. Especially considering this is a public park - not owned by Mount Vernon High School.
