In 1986 and 1987 I lived in a cabin that was on the property that this little island is attached to. I had horrid neighbors to the east; they lived in Canada and came down on weekends. I called them the "Holes", as in Assholes. Great Blue Herons would come to this rock in the lake and poop crawfish shells onto the rock. I snorkled around the rock and there were these amazing green freshwater mussels in the lake bed. I cooked up a couple - YUK tasted like mud. I was dirt broke, but good times. I loved skinny dipping at night, with the bats swooping around my head, eating the bugs I disturbed off the water.
Not sure how this got to be called Nala island. As a kid growing up here, we just called it "The Rock"
Impressive bird watching can't imagine a better spot
Whoever this Nala is, she has an amazing island. There is diving depth off the west side, sunning on the east, bird watching to the west.
Nala Island is located at Axelson Rd, Bellingham, WA 98229, USA
