Project Highlights
This project will acquire several parcels within the Green River Gorge Conservation Area. The Parks Commission has emphasized acquisition of parcels along the south river trail corridor, subject to availability. Proposed acquisitions are listed in priority order: Palmer Coking Coal Triangles, Flaming Geyser Trail R/W; Opposite Riverbank Northeast of Jellum; Green River Gorge Resort Bypass; Nolte Trail Connection; and Icy Creek Extension. Properties have a variety of land characteristics, but for the most part are second growth forested uplands, some with Green River frontage.
