Visitor Information

Theler Wetlands is one of 15 places to see before you graduate.  The Theler Wetlands cover some 75 acres, and an agreement with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife expands the trail system to 135 acres. Four separate trails are open to the public free of charge during daylight hours, seven days a week. Birdwatchers and photographers flock to the wetlands, where they'll see kingfishers, heron and other birds – and possibly a fox or a mink – on a good day. Sorry, but pets are not permitted on the wetlands trails. Click on PDF icon to download a Theler Wetlands Trail Guide.
