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 to construct a paved multi-use ADA-compliant 10-foot wide trail approximately 5,900 feet long, and a parallel 4-foot wide crushed rock trail for equestrian use. At the end of the trail, State Parks will construct a cantilevered platform approximately 720 square feet to overlook the Mashel River Valley and provide a view of Mount Rainier. Other improvements include benches and interpretive signage to provide information on the environment, history and culture. The primary recreational opportunity provided by this project is non-motorized trail use.
