Chehalis Western Trail Phase 2
- Status
- Funded in 2001
Thurston County is seeking WWRP assistance to develop a seven mile segment of its Chehalis Western Trail. The County owns the trail corridor from just south of South Sound Mall in Lacey to Yelm. The trail’s northern end has already opened for public use. This project would extend the trail another 7 miles to the south, and connect it with other regional trail corridors. The county will construct a 12-foot wide paved trail with an adjacent equestrian trail and a trail head parking facility with restrooms, picnic facilities, and an open play area. The project also includes the construction of two scenic viewpoints overlooking the Deschutes River, which borders the trail for 1.5 miles. Harlequin ducks, red-tailed hawks, deer, frogs, butterflies, neotropical migrants, seabirds, waterfowl, gulls, eagles, and river otter can be observed while on the trail.
Location
The existing Chehalis Western Trail runs from Pacific Avenue near South Sound Mall in Lacey to just south of State Route 507. Phase two will continue the trail to the south.
