This campsite is on a long peninsula that divides Popcorn Pond from a larger 5 acre pond. Jordan Creek runs through the property and eventually empties into the South Fork of the Stilliguamish River about a mile downstream.. Popcorn Pond is currently undergoing  gradual changes as the beavers have moved and the dam has fallen into disrepair. This is a normal progression cycle of the creek, wetland and ponds.

The South Fork (30 miles (48 km)) originates from the northern slopes of Del Campo Peak and Morning Star Peak in central Snohomish County, 20 miles (32 km) south of Darrington, and flows west and northwest by Silverton, Verlot, and Granite Falls.The two forks unite at Arlington in northwestern Snohomish County. The combined stream flows west before it briefly splits again to encircle the town of Silvana. The Stilliguamish bifurcates at its delta to form Florence Island before entering Puget Sound. 

Hatt Slough flows southwest and is now the primary distributary of the Stilliguamish waters into Port Susan, having been diverted in the early twentieth century. The Old Stilliguamish River Channel flows northwest towards Florence and then Stanwood on an 8 mile meandering course. Near the Camano Island bridge this channel again splits, forming Leque Island, with the South Pass flowing into Port Susan and the West Pass emptying into the southern end of Skagit Bay
