Region
4 Blinds...
Cherry
Valley Area
This blind is located
between Duvall and Monroe in the Snoqualmie Wildlife Area and is an
area that floods. Call the Area Manager at (425) 788-5061
to check conditions for the blind. The blind can be accessed by driving
into the parking lot for the pheasant release site. Decoys can usually
be put out while wearing hip-boots or chest-waders. Some parts of this
flooded area are deep, so a dog is helpful for retrieving. Boats are
not used. The surrounding area is a pheasant release site and there
usually isn't water in front of the blind until mid to late November
(depending on the rainfall). This is first-come first-served with disabled
hunters having priority if the blind is occupied 2 hours prior to daylight.
DRIVING DIRECTIONS:
Going
south on SR-203 from Monroe, drive about 1 mile south of the Snohomish/King
County line and watch for the wildlife area on your left. Turn into
the parking area and go through the gate. Follow the primitive service
road (closed to unauthorized vehicles) out of the parking lot about
200 yards to a left turn, then go about 100 yards to the drop-off
area next to the blind on the right.
Lake Terrell
Wildlife Area This
blind is located on Lake Terrell inside the wildlife area. It is a permanent
custom-designed wood structure built on the edge of the water. There is
a parking area next to a 150' gravel path which leads to the blind. To
reach the blind, follow the service road behind a locked gate from the
boat launch area. The blind is about .5 miles north of the launch. The
lake has many boat-in only blinds around the edges. This is one of the
few blinds that can be accessed without a boat. The plan is to have other
agricultural field blind opportunities in the future. Call the Wildlife
Area Manager in advance at (360) 384-4723 to reserve the blind
and to make arrangements to obtain the key.
DRIVING DIRECTIONS:
Driving
north on I-5 from Bellingham, take exit 262 (Ferndale) heading west.
Follow the main road through town heading west on Mountain View road
about 4 miles to Lake Terrell Road. Turn
right and follow the road into the wildlife area near the boat launch.
Go through the gate and follow this road about ½ mile to the designated
parking area on the right. There is a 150' compacted gravel trail
to the blind.
