The Blue Stilly Access Area will be closed to vehicle entry effective June 7 through Sept. 20, 2024. The site will reopen to vehicles Sept. 21 through Jan. 31, or otherwise when fishing is open on the adjacent section of the Stillaguamish River.
This WDFW access area has become extremely popular during the summer season, with littering, vandalism, illegal or improper parking, unpermitted camping, and other issues reaching untenable levels as well as impacting access for emergency responders.
The Blue Stilly Access Area was acquired by WDFW to support fishing access, and the Department intends to continue to allow vehicle access during fishing seasons, along with other responsible walk-in access, while deterring irresponsible and potentially dangerous behavior.
There are several county and city parks nearby, including Haller Park and Twin Rivers, that provide alternative options for people to responsibly enjoy access to the river.
Year-round. Open to vehicles only during the regulated sport fishing season(s).
