Temporary trail closures at Whipple Creek Regional Park start Aug. 17

Vancouver, WA – Several trails inside Whipple Creek Regional Park will be temporarily closed for improvements beginning Monday, Aug. 17.

The closures are necessary to remove and replace two culverts with foot bridges, which will take approximately three weeks to complete. Signs will be posted on the trails that are closed.

This trail improvement project marks the beginning of a long-term effort with the Clark County Executive Horse Council to rehabilitate the trail system within Whipple Creek Regional Park. Located off Northwest 179th Street, immediately west of the Clark County Fairgrounds, this 300-acre park is known for its heavily forested trails that cater to horseback riders and hikers alike.

More information about this park is available online at: www.clark.wa.gov/parks-trails/whipplecreek.html. For more information about the trail improvement project, please contact Brian Zahora, Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation, (360) 619-1150.
