Voting Home / Barn Beach Reserve
Nominated for: BEST Bird Watching
Barn Beach Reserve is the home of a nature center, Icicle Arts, and the Upper Valley Museum at Leavenworth, on the east slope of the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. The Reserve and an adjacent city park combine to create a protected greenbelt of more than 50 acres of mature, streamside forest that includes Blackbird Island, a popular stop on Audubon's Great Washington Birding Trail.
The Reserve provides exhibits and programming that connect science and nature, the arts, and cultural history in the Greater Wenatchee Valley.
