Category Overview
The State Lands Development and Renovation category provides funding to two state agencies to repair, renovate, and develop outdoor recreation facilities on existing recreation lands. As the popularity of outdoor recreation increases in our state, these grants help address overcrowding, ensure our outdoor amenities are safe for public use, improve visitor experience, and allow more people to enjoy our great outdoors.
Project Highlights
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife used this grant to redevelop the Leyendecker Access Area on the Bogachiel River in Clallam County. WDFW installed a toilet, added parking and a loading platform for people with disabilities, installed a boat ramp, and removed hazardous trees. People use the access area for boating, fishing, wildlife viewing, and photographing nature. The primary recreation opportunity provided by this project is water access for fishing and other recreational uses.
