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 Department of Natural Resources will use this grant to develop a new trailhead on Reiter Foothills State Forest, located between the towns of Gold Bar and Index. The new trailhead facility will provide public access to 8 miles of hiking, equestrian, and mountain biking trails. The proposed facility will include 8 vehicle/trailer parking stalls, 12 standard vehicle stalls, 2 ADA stalls, 1 informational kiosk and restroom facilities. The primary recreation opportunity provided by this project is improved support facilities for nonmotorized trail users.
