Teneriffe-CCC Connector Trail Development

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 (DNR) will use this grant to develop the final phase of the Teneriffe-Civilian Conservation Corps Connector Trail in the Mount Si Natural Resource Conservation Area, located in east King County. This project will provide funding for materials and construction for the third and final 1.8-mile section of trail, including the installation of two bridges. The primary recreation opportunity provided by this project is a safe and sustainable non-motorized trail system.
