Chehalis River Surge Plain (CRSP) water access
- Status
- Funded in 2011
The Department of Natural Resources will use this grant to provide access to the Chehalis River within the Chehalis River Surge Plain Natural Area Preserve. The department will create a launch for hand-carried boats, a shoreline trail, improved parking, bank fishing sites, and natural area interpretation. Two ramps for hand-carried boat will provide access for canoes, kayaks, and skiffs to both the Chehalis River and Blue Slough. Parking will be improved for both sites and a riverbank interpretive trail will border the river along an existing screen of native trees and shrubs. Access for bank fishing will be made safer, with erosion protection, at both work sites. The Chehalis River Surge Plain Natural Area Preserve is 2,700 acres and protects the largest high quality surge plain wetland in the state. Sitka spruce dominated wetland forests hang over winding sloughs, and fish, waterfowl, and wildlife thrive here. The department will contribute $15,000 in donated labor.
Location
From Montesano, 4 miles SW on HWY 107 to Preachers Slough Road, Drive to end of road.
