Project Highlights
The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission will use this grant to acquire 178 acres along the Willapa Hills Trails and Chehalis River near Ceres Hill Road. Acquisition of the property will provide trail users a stopover place with opportunities to develop hiker biker campsites, restroom facilities, picnicking, and water access on the Chehalis River. The property will also provide opportunities for ecological restoration of the floodplain and shoreline associated with the Chehalis River. The primary recreational purpose of this grant is to support nonmotorized trail use.
