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
Pierce County constructed a 1.2-mile section of pedestrian trail through Chambers Canyon that connected and improved existing trail segments on either side of the canyon and includes a small foot bridge across Peach Creek. The trail consists of 2,134 lineal feet of boardwalk and 4,040 lineal feet of soft surface trails. The primary recreational opportunity provided by this project is hiking. The trailhead along Zircon Drive was eliminated during the early design phase. The existing parking along the Zircon Drive trail entry was determined to be adequate and the cost of making an official trailhead at this location was prohibitive to the overall project goals.
