Sun Lakes State Park: Dry Falls Campground Renovation

30000305

Sun Lakes State Park Dry Falls campground is a popular destination park that has outlived its useful life. Existing sites have substandard geometry and utilities for today’s camping vehicles, camp-loop roadways need to be reconstructed and utility infrastructure to the site needs to be replaced. This project will replace the existing campground, construct new comfort stations and replace utilities. This project will fund predesign and design-phase work.

Willapa Hills Trail Develop Safe Multi-Use Trail Crossing at SR 6

30000519

State Parks purchased the 56-mile historic Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail right-of-way between Chehalis and Raymond in 1993. Over the past 25-years, it has been progressively converted to a nonmotorized recreation trail - the Willapa Hills Trail. Between Chehalis and Adna, there remains one location where the trail crosses State Route 6 at grade. This creates a dangerous situation to both trail users and highway motorists because of limited sight-distances on a curved segment of the highway. This project solves the safety problem by constructing a pedestrian overpass for trail users over State Route 6. Reappropriation funding is also included.

The project will result in additional park revenue by extending the seasons the park can be open for camping, reduce operating costs and enhanced riparian habitat. Reappropriation funding is also included.
