Our Work / State Parks / Pearrygin Lake – Hill Acquisition

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 acquired 144.39 acres located within the long-term boundary of Pearrygin State Park. The property has outstanding views of Pearrygin Lake. Acquiring the property provides connection between existing State Park property and significant blocks of public lands through the Bear Creek Corridor in an effort to provide year round recreational, cultural and natural resource opportunities and to preserve the view shed.
