Category Overview
Trails grants help communities and recreation areas fund the creation and improvement of trails for walking, hiking, cycling, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. These grants help make communities more livable, create regional trails systems, and open up beautiful outdoor spaces for people to enjoy. WWRP is the largest source of trail support in the state of Washington.
Project Highlights
The Snohomish County Department of Parks and Recreation will use this grant to repair damage from two landslides and a bank wash-out in the Arlington to Trafton section of the Whitehorse Regional Trail that occurred in 2018. Approximately 1,500 linear feet of trail has been affected in this location and resurfacing work cannot begin until the repairs are completed. The work will include engineering, design, permitting, and repair of the 2.6-mile segment of the trail between its junction with the Centennial Trail in Arlington and the Tin Bridge, just west of the Trafton Trail head. The trail will be a 12 foot wide gravel trail with 2′ soft shoulders, narrowing to 10 feet with no shoulders at all water crossings. The primary recreation opportunity provided by this grant will be non-motorized recreational trail use.
