The Barney Lake Conservation Area is located on the edge of the City of Mount Vernon. This 368-acre protected property along Nookachamps Creek and seasonal Barney Lake provides critical floodwater storage for the Skagit River, and habitat for an array of native wildlife species. Protection of wildlife habitat and the ecosystem of Barney Lake remains important as we develop a low-impact, wildlife compatible public access plan.
