Lewis St. Skykomish River Public Access
- Status
- Funded in 2007
The Department of Fish and Wildlife will use this grant to replace a deteriorated boat launch that provides access to the Skykomish River. One side of the double ramp has been closed due to disrepair and the second ramp is in need of repair. Demand for access is high almost year-round for fishing, kayaking, tubing, swimming, picnicking, and general recreation. Replacement of the ramp will expedite the flow of heavy traffic, reducing congestion at the site by allowing one ramp to be used for launching and one for retrieval. The department also will use the grant to add parking for people with disabilities and a paved entrance to reduce maintenance required by a high level of use and erosion. The Sky Valley chapter of Trout Unlimited has committed to provide monthly maintenance.
Location
