Taylor Bay Phase 1
- Status
- Pending Legislative Approval
The Key Peninsula Metropolitan Park District will use this grant to develop 6.3 acres on Taylor Bay into a day use park and water trail camping site. The district will develop a picnic shelter, viewpoint, launch for hand-carried boats, footbridge, primitive campsites, restroom, and parking. The 39-acre Taylor Bay property has special natural habitat and scenic values and nearly a half mile of saltwater shoreline. The property offers views of Case Inlet and the Olympic Mountains. The development will provide educational opportunities for environmental learning, enhance public access to the shoreline in an area with few beaches, and serve as a canoe and kayak launching spot. Currently, there are launching sites at various points along Key Peninsula, but no water access along the southern section, making Taylor Bay a prime launching spot. The district will contribute $244,000 in cash, staff labor, materials, and donated labor. This grant is from the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program
