Wicks Lake Expansion
- Status
- Funded in 2003
Kitsap County seeks to add to its existing waterfront facility at Wicks Lake. Wicks Lake Park is located in the southwest portion of Kitsap County. The county purchased approximately twelve acres along Wicks Lake in 1969. The remaining property surrounding the lake is owned by two local timber companies. This project is for the acquisition of an additional 140 acres around the lake to protect the pristine environment and provide for outdoor recreational opportunities such as swimming, non-motorized boating, and hiking. Acquisition will include trail easements connecting the lake to nearby Square Lake State Park.
