Description:
The project is for the acquisition of 9.24 acres of land, the construction of a new trailhead and 1/2 mile of trail for the Green River Regional Trail including, picnic shelter/restroom, 37 car parking lot, accessible fishing area, and native plant landscaping/buffer/greenbelt. The accessible trail will allow fishing close to the river. Currently slopes of 1.5:1 make bank fishing inaccessible. This will be the only accessible fishing area on the Green River. The stretch of the greenbelt is very open and this project will establish a native plant greenbelt along the trail and river corridor to buffer the adjacent industrial area. The Boeing Company is donating nearly $1.8 million in property towards this project.
Location:
From I 5, take the Orillia Road exit, and turn east onto Orillia Road. Head down the hill, the road becomes 212th St. You can not turn left onto Russell Road, so go past the site, turn left onto the new road [the first left], do a U turn. Turn right onto Russell Road and park at the barricade. The land from 212th to 196th St., on the east side of the Green River Trail, from the OHW of the river 200 feet east is the land donation.
