Here are just a few more ideas:
Enjoy breath-taking views at Nooksack Falls. Less than an hour from Oostema Farmstead, the awe-inspiring falls are sure to please the whole family. Be sure to have your camera ready for these magnificent views.
Berthusen Park is a tranquil city park that provides the perfect place to connect with nature, unwind, go for an easy hike, or picnic with the family. From Oostema Farmstead, head west on Badger Road, approximately eleven miles, to explore this gem. And though this park is beloved by locals, it remains relatively quiet, except during some of the hottest days of the year.
A hundred years ago, early-model windowless automobiles first bumped along the gravel road known as Chuckanut Drive, which officially opened in the spring of 1916. The drivers were likely motivated by the same thing I am: the route’s spectacular views, including sheer sandstone cliffs, roadside forests, pocket beaches and jaw-dropping views of the Salish Sea.
