This project will acquire 55 acres of shoreline, forested uplands, and wetlands on a 20-acre lake at the north edge of the Camas city limits. The project will acquire the entire shoreline around Fallen Leaf Lake. The project site also borders 45 acres of forested hillside that are preserved by the Columbia Land Trust. Historically, this site served as a private park and includes a large picnic shelter and tables. Fallen Leaf Lake is part of an interconnected system of three lakes, known as the Lacamas Corridor, that also includes Round and Lacamas Lakes. Camas and other partners have already helped preserve over 800 acres within the Lacamas Corridor, and Fallen Leaf Lake is the last major acquisition to complete the community's vision for a linked system of waterfront parks and habitat. Over 40,000 people live in the primary service area, which includes the cities of Camas, Washougal, and eastern parts of the city of Vancouver. The project site provides opportunties for hiking, picnicking, wildlife viewing, fishing, swimming, and other light-impact activities, which include the highest rated recreation activities in the city of Camas. While located in a heavily developed urban area, the lake and surrounding forestlands provide a distinct feeling of a remote or sanctuary-like setting.
