County: Clark 
Legislative District: 18th 
WWRP Category: Trails
WWRP Grant: $898,784

Project Type: Development
Date Funded: 2007

Description:

This project will develop a shared-use regional trail located in the 125-acre Washougal River Greenway inside the city of Camas in southeast Clark County. The main trail includes a boardwalk and 4,970 lineal feet of gravel and hard-surfaced trail. The trail system also includes a bridge over the Washougal River. This bridge will have two purposes. It will support a new city waterline, and will be designed as a pedestrian and bicycle crossing. The city of Camas will use separate local funds to build the bridge. Other project elements include a viewpoint, picnic site, signing, and off-street trailhead parking. This project will connect to the Lacamas Heritage Trail, which extends north 7.5 miles through the city of Camas along Lacamas Creek and Lacamas Lake. This project lies in the center of the Camas/Washougal Urban Area, which has a population of over 40,000 people. This project will provide access to the Washougal River and 3 connected ponds. The ponds are defunct gravel extraction pits which are now being restored with SRFB salmon recovery funds. Much of the main trail system is co-located with a new city water line to maximize cost efficiencies and minimize impacts to the environment. This project will link neighborhoods south of the Washougal to Camas City Center. It will provide opportunities for hiking, biking, wildlife viewing, picnicking, and fishing, and it will provide linkages to 350-acre Lacamas Lake Regional Park, Goot Park, and many other public recreation facilities.
