Wednesday, April 17, 2024 CONWAY-AREA DIKE WALK Hike up to 3.3 miles one way on the Conway area dike north towards Mount Vernon. Meet at 9 am to sign in at the parking area described below. You may leave when you return to your vehicle. Lunch at the Conway Pub & Eatery?  If the weather is clear there will be great views. Birds should be plentiful. From I-5 take exit 221 which is signposted by Conway and Lake McMurray. This is also the Pioneer Hwy (SR 534) which leads to Stanwood. Turn west toward Conway/Stanwood and very shortly (100 yds) turn right on Fir Island Rd into Conway. Go over the RR tracks and in 100 yds turn right on Dike Rd just before the bridge. Do not go over the South Fork of the Skagit River Bridge onto Fir Island! Parking is available on the left in 200 yds. north of the unsigned dike district building. Difficulty: Easy; no elevation gain
