Klickitat 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 for development in the Swale Canyon area of the Klickitat Trail. The project will grade and surface approximately two miles of trail, construct a primitive trailhead near Wahkiacus, resurfacing and adding rails to seven trestle bridges, and replacing two trestle bridges with a rolling dip and free span bridge. The scope of work includes final design, permitting, and construction. The primary recreational opportunity provided by this project is non-motorized trail use.
