There’s A Ship Graveyard At Picnic Point In Washington And It’s Under-The-Radar
Picnic Point Park is a peaceful, scenic spot located in Snohomish County north of Lynnwood. And while the waterfront scenery is absolutely delightful, if you go at low tide, you might see more than you bargained for. Picnic Point is known for being near a “ship graveyard”. The remnants of multiple old ships lie in the area, and on the right day, you just might spot one.
Editor’s note: While Picnic Point is a public park, the area where the ships lie is on private property. Look, but do not approach — trespassers will be prosecuted.

While there are no official hiking trails in the park, there are numerous paths that make it a fantastic place for a long walk.
You'll see families and friends enjoying picnics and games by the water.
In fact, if you're hoping to see the ship graveyard, that's exactly when you should go.
The largest and the most prominent is the Pacific Queen.
Also, make sure the tide will be out for quite awhile if you plan to check it out.
That being said, Picnic Point itself is the farthest thing from creepy.
Come for the shipwrecks, stay for the amazing sunsets.
