Green River Gorge--Icy Creek Trail
- Status
- Funded in 2011
State Parks will use this grant to buy an easement for a 2.2-mile trail in the Green River Gorge Conservation Area. State Parks has been trying to buy land within the gorge between Flaming Geyser and Kanaskat-Palmer State Parks since the conservation area’s creation in 1969. There are only a few gaps in ownership on the south side of the river, and this purchase will close the most significant of those gaps. The trail easement runs along the top of the gorge in the Icy Creek area, just east of State Route 169. It will provide a route for a trail that connects State Parks’ land in the Kummer Mines Heritage Area and the Hanging Gardens area. Recently, the owner subdivided his property for development. This project will ensure that the trail corridor remains open to the public, and that houses aren't built right on the edge of the gorge. This grant is from the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program.
