Cape Disappointment Three Waters Trail

Category Overview

State Parks grants help preserve and develop our state’s best outdoor recreation areas by funding new campgrounds and amenities to increase the capacity of our parks, creating new parks, improving park resources, and protecting historical areas. These grants help our state continue to develop our world-class parks system to share our cultural heritage and natural treasures with all of its visitors.

Project Highlights

State Parks will use this grant to construct a 0.1 mile segment of trail to connect two separate ends of the Three Waters Trail at Cape Disappointment State Park. This will help complete the vision of linking by trail the park’s three waters including the Columbia River, wetlands and lake, and the Pacific Ocean. The new trail will also improve safety by separating pedestrians from vehicles. The primary recreational opportunity provided by this project is non-motorized trail use.
