Yelm Prairie Line Trail Phase 2b

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

The City of Yelm will use this grant to develop a .38-mile trail segment of the regional Yelm-Prairie Line Trail. This phase will extend the trail across the Nisqually River bridge and into Pierce County for later phases of development. The primary recreational opportunities provided by this project are multi-modal non-motorized trail use.
