Larry Scott Trail Final Phase Project

Description:

The goal of the Final Phase Project is to acquire the remaining 1.6 miles of right-of-way and develop the final 4.0 miles of the Larry Scott Trail. Jefferson County has already acquired 2.4 miles of trail route for this section and acquisition of the remaining right-of-way has begun. The development portion of the project will constuct: - A 4-mile-long, 10-ft-wide, multi-purpose trail meeting ADA accessibility guidelines; - A 4-ft-wide horse path parallel to the trail; and - A trailhead at a planned transit facility site at State Route 20 and S Discovery Rd that will include parking, an educational kiosk and linkage to other modes of transportation. There is no multi-purpose trail in this area of rural Jefferson County. The completed trail, with many planned, local feeder trails, safely connects pedestrians, equestrians and bicyclists to a variety of destination facilities and recreational opportunities. The Larry Scott Trail is an 8.5 mile route that begins in the City of Port Townsend; 4.5 miles of the Trail are already constructed and in use. The Final Phase Project completes the vision of the Memorial Trail named after an important community member, and connects the trail to its planned juncture with the Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT). The ODT is a regional trail system that ultimately will cross the entire North Olympic Peninsula, extending from Port Townsend to the Pacific Coast.
