Frenchman’s Bar Regional Park Dev.

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 initial development of this project is the regional waterfront park facilities on the Columbia River, previously acquired with WWRP assistance. In close proximity to the City of Vancouver, this project provides roads, trails, support buildings, playfields, picnic facilities, and children’s water play area.
