Boardman Group Camp

Granite Falls, Washington

About

Boardman Group Campground is located about 8 miles east of the Verlot Public Service Center along scenic Mountain Loop Scenic Byway through Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The campground is situated on the banks of the tranquil Stillaguamish River, in close proximity to several wilderness areas. The site is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Vault toilets are available, but there is no drinking water. Visitors must bring their own supply. The Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest offers visitors the chance to explore the region's rugged peaks, scenic rivers, and interesting wildlife within the forest and surrounding designated wilderness areas. Unique ecosystems along the banks of the Stillaguamish River feature old-growth forests of cedar, fir, and hemlock. On a clear day, visitors will see Mt. Baker, the most prominent feature of the Mt. Baker Wilderness Area, rising to an elevation of 10,781 feet. Undeveloped wilderness, clean streams, and diverse forests provide important habitat for wildlife, including birds, amphibians, reptiles, and more rare species such as lynx, moose, wolves, and wolverine. Grizzly bear sightings have been confirmed in the Cascade region, though black bears are more common. In addition to being a prime location for hiking, fishing, picnicking, and horseback riding in summer and early fall, visitors can take advantage of skiing and snowshoeing in the winter months. Anglers enjoy fishing from the gently-flowing Stillaguamish River, which sustains populations of chinook, coho, chum, pink, and sockeye salmon, steelhead trout, sea-run cutthroat, and bull trout.
