Master Plan
Planning for a Lower Daybreak properties conceptual master plan began in 2008. After completing an extensive public outreach and involvement process, the plan was finalized in June 2010.
The purpose of the plan was to provide a clear vision and framework for the future development of Lower Daybreak. The plan balanced active and passive recreational use with the enhancement of riparian and lowland habitats.
Project details
This project included:
-
Installation of an accessible trailhead
-
Multiuse paths
-
Viewpoint to the East Fork Lewis River
-
Interpretive signage
-
Other site furnishings
The trailhead can be accessed from the boat launch parking lot located on the west side of Northeast Daybreak Road across from Daybreak Regional Park.
Trail users should stay on marked trails to minimize impacts to wetland and habitat areas.
The paved trail is just over a 1/2 mile at 0.56 miles. The gravel loop trail is just over 1/3 mile at 0.34 miles. The river access path is only about 100 feet or 0.02 miles. Total length of all trails is 0.92 miles.
Contractor
Clark County awarded the construction contract to Nylund, Inc. of Brush Prairie, WA., which submitted the lowest of 12 bids received. The construction for this project has been completed.
Funding
Funding for the project was provided by an Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account grant from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office.
Parking
The boat launch currently holds 97 parking spaces and six accessible parking spaces with trailhead access. Parking at this location is free.
Future plans
Dedicated funds are not available at this time. The county will continue to apply for grants, pursue partnerships and seek nontraditional ways to build further improvements of the master plan that will enhance pedestrian safety and recreation, and promote a healthy lifestyle.
