Don Morse Park Water Access Improvements
- Status
- Funded in 2011
Chelan Parks and Recreation Department will use this grant to restore about 2.5 acres and 175 feet of natural beach at Don Morse Park, the first phase of a multi-phase project to restore about a quarter mile of natural beach. The City will provide erosion protection by building a drift sill, restore the swimming beach, create a pea gravel beach that will be more stable and require minimal maintenance, and plant native plantings at the top of the sill to provide habitat for wildlife. The City also will add a crushed rock path from the parking area to the water, build an accessible swim ramp into the water, and add a launch for hand-carried boats. Chelan’s population swells from 4,000 to more than 20,000 in summer. Residents and visitors are cut off from much of Lake Chelan by private development and a lack of beaches. The City will contribute $500,000.
