Category Overview
Washington is famous for its gorgeous and abundant waterways, from the Salish Sea to the Nisqually River, but many communities lack open public beaches and waterfronts where everyone can enjoy picnicking, swimming, paddling, boating, and angling. Water Access projects fund public shoreline access, boat launches, and fishing docks to create more opportunities for water recreation.
Project Highlights
The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife will use this grant to acquire approximately 38 acres adjacent to the Sol Duc River, north of Forks in Clallam County. This acquisition will provide 2600 feet of water frontage and a natural boat launch to the Sol Duc River. The primary recreation opportunities provided through this grant are fishing, boating, camping, and wildlife viewing.
