Fallen Leaf Lake Park
- Status
- Funded in 2009
Camas will use this grant to buy 55 acres of shoreline, forest, and wetlands on the 20-acre Fallen Leaf Lake at the north edge of the city. The land borders 45 acres of forested hillside that are preserved by the Columbia Land Trust. Historically, this site served as a private park and includes a large picnic shelter and tables. Fallen Leaf Lake is part of an interconnected system of three lakes, known as the Lacamas Corridor, that includes Round and Lacamas Lakes. Camas and other partners already have helped preserve more than 800 acres within the corridor, and Fallen Leaf Lake is the last major acquisition to complete the community's vision for a linked system of waterfront parks and habitat. The park provides opportunities for hiking, picnicking, wildlife watching, fishing, swimming, and other light-impact activities. The city will contribute $1,067,800 in cash and a state grant.
