Olympic Discovery Trail – Anderson Lake Extension

Category Overview

Trails grants help communities and recreation areas fund the creation and improvement of trails for walking, hiking, cycling, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. These grants help make communities more livable, create regional trails systems, and open up beautiful outdoor spaces for people to enjoy. WWRP is the largest source of trail support in the state of Washington.

Project Highlights

State Parks will use this grant to extend the Olympic Discovery Trail over one-half mile to link to Anderson Lake State Park. The trail will be paved and include a short section of boardwalk. The project will also enhance an existing primitive trailhead at the park with additional parking, signage, hitching posts, and vault toilets. When completed it will provide a connection from Port Townsend to the State Park via 11 miles of trail. The primary recreational opportunity provided by this project is non-motorized trail use.
