Asotin Creek WLA Campgrounds

Category Overview

The State Lands Development and Renovation category provides funding to two state agencies to repair, renovate, and develop outdoor recreation facilities on existing recreation lands. As the popularity of outdoor recreation increases in our state, these grants help address overcrowding, ensure our outdoor amenities are safe for public use, improve visitor experience, and allow more people to enjoy our great outdoors.

Project Highlights

The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife will use this grant to develop two primitive camping areas in designated campgrounds (Foredyce and Cabin Gulch) on the Asotin Creek Unit of the Asotin Creek Wildlife Area in Asotin County. WDFW will gravel the parking area, create parking pads, install fire rings, ADA vault toilets, and kiosks. The primary recreation opportunities provided through this grant are camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, mountain biking, equestrian riding, and wildlife viewing.
