Edgewater Park: Escaping at the End of the Day


Living in an urban city brings a lot of grit and grind. So, weekends can come as a welcome respite. Taking part in recreational activities here in Edgewater Park, Mount Vernon can greatly improve your physical health. The 54-acre park is located near the beautiful Skagit River and is home to The Fabulous 4th of July and the Highland Games.

So, if you're a workaholic, then it's time to engage in outdoor activities at the park with your friends and family. Edgewater Park boasts of four regulation softball fields, a boat launch, a playground, and a large concert stage. It also recently unveiled a golf course to further compliment the large area. With all the amenities the park has to offer, you can get that much-needed exercise, which will lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. 

There are numerous greens that make the park temperature lower than the adjacent areas of the facility. Not only that, but the park also has easy access to downtown Mount Vernon, so this brings a quick escape after the hustle and bustle of your typical weekday-life. Now, isn't that a haven for human comfort, especially during the upcoming summer days. 

Besides the hiking trails and bike paths which snakes its way around the huge playing fields, it has other amenities such as:

Bird Watching/Wildlife Viewing

Edgewater Park has some of the best locations to spot birds of every kind. Waterfowls, quails, sandpipers, and hummingbirds are the usual sightings in the area. 

Boat Launch and Freshwater Fishing 

Safety first here, park-goers who want to get wet in the Skagit River. For a quieter experience, boaters motor out into the expansive river to spend the day swimming, fishing, or just hanging out.

The river has many opportunities that include steelhead fishing, salmon fishing, trout fishing, bass fishing, saltwater opportunities and more! By the way, during the peak boating season, a wheelchair-assisted, portable restroom is available near the launch area.

Romans 8:14-16, NIV, “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.” Dear God, Almighty Father, thank you for touching our hearts of your fatherly love. May you grant us that grace so that we may be worthy as your sons and daughters. Oh, how great it is to be carried by you in your arms as we rest our burdens on your shoulders. How great it is to sit on your lap as you listen to every word our hearts say. Being recognized as your child alone is the greatest honor every creation of yours can have. It also brings immeasurable joy in our hearts. Guide us always Lord to follow the flock you’re leading. Be our shepherd always for every decision we make and every step we take, we need you to govern our mind

Ways That Serving the Baptist Church Can Change You

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. -Hebrews 10:24-25 A churchgoer is not meant just to go to Manassas Baptist Church on days of obligation. Perhaps you’re still finding your way and where you feel called to serve, and that’s fine. But don’t let it take years of your life to figure out.

Serving in a Baptist Church increases one’s faith Through serving, God gave me a front row seat to seeing Him change people’s lives. That sounds a bit dramatic, but it’s true.

Romans 8:26, NIV, “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” Dear God, let your Holy Spirit descend upon us all and over the whole world. To guide and enlighten our paths as we walk this earth toward your Kingdom in heaven. To uncover the greatness of your power before our mortal eyes. You are our King and our God. Let your holy infiniteness reign in every heart of your people since your ways and thoughts are higher than ours. Our King and our God, send your Holy Spirit so that we may see our own weakness and help us put them into prayers. We lift our hands and yearning hearts to you, Father, we ask for your blessing through your Holy Spirit and your son Jesus Christ. Amen.
