FERNDALE
Summer is the time to visit Ferndale. With views of Mount Baker it is such a picturesque little town.
Ferndale
Visit the historic Pioneer Park. The cedar slab cabins are open to the public during the summer months and the first weekend in December. There are also special events on and off all year including movie nights in the summer.
A whole day can be easily spent at Hovander Homestead Park. This gorgeous park has so many things to see. There are historic homes, a big red barn, grassy areas to let the kids run free, and a playground to play on. There is a lookout tower to climb and view the farm. There are horses, pigs, chickens, geese, turkeys and goats to see and feed where appropriate. Take in a program at the Tenant Lake Interpretive Center or walk the boardwalk around the wetland and view the wildlife, enjoy the sights and smells of the fragrance garden. There is always something to do here (or not too)!
Take a walk along the Centennial Riverwalk Park,right in the middle of Ferndale, on the west side of the Nooksack River. As you walk, your kids will enjoy reading the signs about the river and native salmon species. Take a rest a long the way on one of the many benches and enjoy the view!
