Wooten Wildlife Area Rainbow Lake Pier

Category Overview

The State Lands Development and Renovation category provides funding to two state agencies to repair, renovate, and develop outdoor recreation facilities on existing recreation lands. As the popularity of outdoor recreation increases in our state, these grants help address overcrowding, ensure our outdoor amenities are safe for public use, improve visitor experience, and allow more people to enjoy our great outdoors.

Project Highlights

The Department of Fish and Wildlife will use this grant to install a fishing pier in Rainbow Lake on the WT Wooten Wildlife Area, located in Columbia County. This project will provide funding for the design, construction, and installation of the pier from the existing ADA accessible fishing pad located in the northeast corner of Rainbow Lake. Development activities include permitting and design, driving piles and pier installation. The primary recreation opportunity provided by this project is fishing.
