Iverson Trail Preserve is located at the north end of Camano Island, at the Livingston Bay. The beach is facing east and typically used in the winter in S to SSE and SE winds. Watch for the tide. In the winter the high tide can be close to four meters above the main sea level. This means, the beach is flooded and logs start to re-float again. Beach becomes usable again about two hours after high tide. The closest tide forecast station is the Stanwood station. Stanwood Stillamaguamish
