WhatcomCountyandotherpublicandprivateagencieshaveamassedan impressive amount of acreage - that includes every conceivable kind of parkland and recreational facility within the county.

A significant portion of the inventory are regional facilities -thatareused by populations who reside outside of Whatcom County service areas boundaries even though the maintenance and operation of these sites has been financed by the county or other regional agencies.

The combined square footage provides a significant inventory of day use facilites scattered thougout the county for business meetings, conferences events, weddings or picnics - particularly within urban areas.

The combined acreage provides a significant inventory of freshwater access points for fishing, boating, camping and trai access - particularly along the interior upland and mountain streams, rivers and lakes.

The combined acreage contains a modest inventory of saltwater access points scattered thoughout the county. However, there is a relatively small amount of acreage, accessible by land, that has been developed for saltwater fishing, boating and trail access activities considering the local and regional demands on the county.

The Port of Bellingham is a principal provider of the urban saltwater recreational opportunities - especially moorage, boat launches, shoreline parks, trails and viewpoints with supporting play areas, picnic tables, benches and public restrooms.
