State park in Washington (state), United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forks of the Sky State Park is a 1,300-acre (530 ha)[1] element of the Washington State Park System on the Skykomish River and adjacent to U.S. Highway 2, near Index, Washington. Although a separate park, it is administered by Wallace Falls State Park farther west on Highway 2.[2] The Index Town Wall, a popular 1,200-foot (370 m) rock climbing and BASE jumping wall with 500 climbing routes documented by 2003,[3][4][5] was acquired by the state in 2010,[6] and is part of the park.[2] The base of the wall has a blocked tunnel created by the test of a tunnel boring machine that was sent to dig under the English Channel.[5] The Wild Sky Wilderness can be reached through the state park.[7]
