Salmon Creek provides critical spawning and rearing habitat for populations of fall chinook, coho and chum salmon, and winter steelhead.

This project supports the County’s goals of conservation under the Legacy Lands program. The Legacy Lands program (Clark County’s Conservation Futures Program) protects natural lands highly valued for habitat, scenic corridors, low-impact recreation and other qualities that enhance our local environment.

The Cowlitz Indian Tribe secured grant funding from the Salmon Recovery Funding Board to develop a preliminary restoration design.

The goal of this project is to return the property to a more natural state and improve nature-based recreational opportunities like walking, birdwatching, fishing, picnicking and cultural and environmental education.

In partnership with the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, fish habitat and environmental restoration improvements may include increasing floodplain resiliency and improving shoreline stability. This will focus on fish passage improvements along two miles of Salmon Creek. The Cowlitz Indian Tribe secured grant funding from the Salmon Recovery Funding Board to develop a preliminary restoration design. The design process began in 2024 with preliminary data collection and surveys assessing the site’s conditions, limiting factors, stream flow dynamics and surrounding infrastructure.
