Ferndale Outdoor Activities

Visitors are encouraged to touch, smell and enjoy the beauty of the garden. To get a truly special experience from your garden visit, schedule a tour with the Fragrance Gardener.

Tour the historic Victorian-era farmhouse, big red barn, and barnyard full of farm animals. Stroll along the Nooksack River, play on acres of green grass, or just enjoy the amazing view of Mt. Baker. The park also has large picnic areas, a dog park, and miles of trails through the surrounding wildlife.

Before exploring Tennant Lake yourself, stop here to learn about the lake and its surrounding flora and fauna. Displays provide hands-on activities for children of all ages, and an on-site naturalist is available to answer questions. Educational programs are offered year-round for children and adults.
