Rasar - Group Camp Development
Description:
Rasar State Park is a 169 acre park with 4,000 feet of river frontage on the Skagit River. Through a generous property donation in 1985 the park was built and opened for use in July 1997, with camping, picnic and day use facilities, and 3.5 miles of hiking trails including a 1/4 mile paved ADA access to the river. In 1999, the first phase of the Group Camp was constructed on 40 acres of property acquired from the Department of Natural Resources. Development included a restroom and three group camping areas that accommodate up to 240 visitors. The second and final phase of development for this camp has not been funded nor constructed.
This project will complete the development of the Group Camp facility. Major elements include paving, utilities, picnic shelters, a children's play structure, a trailer dump station as well as an ADA interpretive loop trail that connects to the main area of the park.
