Yakima River Canyon Access
- Status
- Funded in 2007
The Department of Fish and Wildlife will use this grant to develop the Yakima River Access Site on Canyon Road, north of Yakima and Selah.

The Yakima River Canyon is a popular recreation area and one of the state's best trout fisheries. The department will contribute $1,500 in labor.
