Susie Stephens Trail
- Status
- Funded in 2008
Winthrop will use this grant to buy easements and design and construct a 1.3-mile, non-motorized trail. The 12-foot-wide, multi-use trail will include a 400-foot cable bridge over the Methow River. The project has been a priority of the community for more than a decade. It will link to the vast Methow Valley trail network, and in the future to trails planned by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission and Okanogan County. The trail has generated numerous partnerships. Okanogan County granted funds to buy a trailhead, the state Legislature included more than $1 million for the pedestrian bridge and a portion of the trail in the 2005 gas tax package, and several other organizations as diverse as the Bicycle Alliance of Washington and the North Central Washington Economic Development District have noted their support. Winthrop will contribute more than $1.4 million in cash, a state grant, labor, and donations of cash, equipment, labor, materials, and property interest.
