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 Town of Winthrop will use this grant to develop a water access site on the Methow River in Mack Lloyd Park. Development includes installing a concrete plank ramp, restoration of native vegetation along the riverbank, renovation of the restrooms, improving the gravel parking area, and providing signage to guide proper use of the site. The primary recreational opportunity provided is nonmotorized boating.
