Recreation

Featuring some of the most spectacular, diverse landscapes in the Pacific Northwest, recreation is an important driver of Skagit County’s economy. With a nationally designated Wild and Scenic River System and serving as the gateway to the San Juan Islands to the west, and alpine peaks of North Cascades National Park to the east, Skagit County offers nearly unlimited world-class recreation opportunities.

The Skagit Valley Sports Commission is committed to promoting Skagit County as a vibrant hub for sports and recreation, supporting economic growth and community well-being through sporting events and tournaments.
