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 install 17 miles of compacted gravel in two sections of the Willapa Hills Trail including an 11 mile section of trail from Pluvius at mile 28 to Half Moon Creek Rd at mile 36, and a section of trail from the Willapa River Bridge at mile 37 to the Bullard Road access at mile 46 in Menlo. Compacted gravel will make the trail available for use by hikers, bikers, and equestrians. This project also includes signing for wayfinding, orientation, and interpretation. This project will result in 56.5 miles of improved, continuous trail from Chehalis to South Bend. The primary recreational opportunity provided by this project is non-motorized trail use.
