Middle Fork Ahtanum Trailhead and Trail
- Status
- Funded in 2011
The Department of Natural Resources will use this grant to develop 2-4 miles of a non-motorized trail and a trailhead in the Ahtanum State Forest, which is 25 miles west of Yakima. The department also will develop a parking area, build a restroom, install signs and kiosks, and landscape. The development is the result of a community planning effort that identified the middle fork Ahtanum area as a logical place for a year-round, non-motorized trail system. The area is unique because its relatively low elevation, low amount of rain and snow, and closeness to a paved road means it will have year-round use. The department will contribute $23,800 in donated labor.
